---

Here's the battle plan : get tokens through Raise the Alarm, Brimaz, Elspeth, and Launch the Fleet + at least 1 battlefield thamaturge. Then at the end of your opponents turn use a ton of mana to make your small tokens 4/4 sphinxes with flying, then hopefully win on your turn. Since I had a few "target" triggers I decided to add Fabled Hero, a wincon in himself.

     Ideal plays, turn by turn (with land per turn)

T1: nothing or just Hopeful Eidolon

T2: battlefield thamaturge or Raise the Alarm

T3: Brimaz, King of Oreskos

T4: The other from turn 2 you didnt cast, or a combination, swing Brimaz for token

T5: Launch the fleet for W and hopefully get 5-7 tokens

T6: Save your mana for a Hour of Need on your oppents turn

T7: Swing sphinxes
