This take on the Imperium deck is more a marriage of my old Alela Pillow Fort and the Imperium precon. I wanted to play Imperium and my old Alela deck was more of a random scrap heap than anything, so the precon has essentially become a frame for her. The focus is basic beatdown with splashes of control, centered around the flavor of the Imperium. I also wanted to stay loyal to the precon so that the deck retains room for growth within its form as an Imperium-flavored deck as I very much expect to see more Warhammer in MTG again down the line. It was a grand slam success and you can bet your bottom dollar WotC will be back for seconds in this age of creative bankruptcy. They made it rather obvious by headlining with characters like Trazyn's Pawn #471810471848018225, err, Inquisitor Greyfax instead of Roboute or even he, Cato Sicarius of the Ultramarines. I'd have been cool with an Imperial Fist, Black Templar, or Salamander, but I digress. Through testing, I've found that while I did like Alela's more "on the go" approach to things, Marneus is just more stable and clearly designed for the format, thus she's retired and Marneus will be in charge of the pillow fort. You know, until MTG returns to 40K and we get Guilliman.

I'll get around to better detailing this deck eventually.
