Green-White fast bashing! This deck utilizes Silverblade Paladin and Wolfir Silverheart for maximum damage with speedy things like Call of the Conclave and Strangleroot Geist.

Rancor seals the deal, and a turn 3 double-striking trampling 5/3 Centaur token is not an uncommon sight.

Restoration Angel and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice appear in the midgame, along with Grove of the Guardian.

Thragtusk (I could use more Thrags, but $$$), Sigarda, Host of Herons, and Armada Wurm round out a very powerful aggro deck, and each is deadlier than ever with either of my soulbonders.

Revenge of the Hunted is the "ok, it's time to end this" win condition if all the other stuff hasn't done the job yet.

#5 in tournament @ World's Collide — Oct. 19, 2012

Edit

Round 1: 2-0 win against Grixis Returns, with the regular routine. Playtesting this week yielded similar results.

Round 2: 2-1 win against Izzet Delver. Pretty good games, he flipped a Delver right away each time, but things like Trostani, Sigarda, and Wolfir Silverheart won the day.

Round 3: 2-1 loss against Grixis Delver. Beaten down by a Delver first game, Powered through intensely with Revenge of the Hunted second game, and came within a turn of winning in game 3. He Brimstone Volleyed my last 2 life away before a big crush.

Round 4: 2-0 (reported) win over another Selesnyan deck, with intense Thragtusk activity. Beat him with Revenge first game, and he beat me with Conjurer's Closet second game, but gave me the match because he was only 1-2 going into it.

So, why did I get 5th? I don't really know, I expected higher. I guess I don't really have a handle on how the weighting of it works. If I had gone 2-0 in the second round, would I have placed higher? Is it based on the stats of the people I beat, so I got ripped off by going against a 1-2 player when I was 2-1 going into the last round?

Anyways, $5 store credit, and a foil Deadbridge Goliath. Good night!
