Most all of the creatures in this deck are defenders. This means, a lot of creatures with large toughness's that put up a wall against any incoming attacks. Then, during the end step of the turn before yours, you mill them out and keep your walls up. Great defense makes for a powerful offense. Comments and recommendations welcome!
