I designed this deck to try to shake up my current metagame, which is filled with a lot of slow control decks. Sygg seems like a great Voltron commander because he strikes a good balance between evasion, resistance to removal, and cheap mana cost.

Voltron Sygg has a few quirks. He does not like any Sword of Blank and Blank other than the Sword of Feast and Famine because the protection they grant makes him unable to target himself. Also, he does not wear auras all that well, since someone can hit him with a Condemn to make him shrug off his Steel of the Godhead.

I don't have this deck yet, but I imagine it would be weak to powerful enchantments like Aura Shards and Grave Pact. To help combat this I am considering running a "2 mana instants" subtheme because Sygg likes to leave 2 mana open. This would support the use of sacrifice-protection cards like Cloudshift and would make Isochron Scepter and Spellbinder better options.
