This is a deck built around maximizing Leyline Axe and its ability to turn any creature large enough into a game-ending threat. Since it's an artifact that comes into play for free on turn 0, I figured artifact synergies like Zoetic Glyph and Case of the Filched Falcon were the way to go along with Regal Bunnicorn since we are absolutely spamming nonland permanents.

The rest of the deck is just glue to hold the main strategy together while adding little bits of value and interaction. This is an excellent Sheltered by Ghosts deck as we have huge creatures to put it on to gain loads of life against aggro, little dorks to put it on when we want to tax our opponent's removal on targets that don't matter, and also a bunch of protection from things like Skrelv, Cloaked creatures, and animated Dusk Rose Reliquaries.

Since we are playing white, we don't just auto-lose to aggro; and since we are playing blue, we don't just auto-lose to control or combo either! This list has a little bit of everything to have play against all types of game plans all while applying immense pressure and I'm confident that it can go the distance if piloted correctly.
