• Introduction:

I am an Imperial commissar. I will enflame the weak, support the wavering, guide the lost. I will be all things to all men who need me. But I will also punish without hesitation the incompetent, the cowardly, and the treasonous.

• The deck:

Behold the military arm of the Imperium in all its glory! While the stories and songs are written about the marines, us in the guard are the ones that truly make the Imperium of Man. Numberless, tireless, we are the tide that eventually turns the battle the other way. One guardsman is but a drop, but a million billion of them is a sea, and the sea is relentless on its advance and consumes everything.

• Why is Commissar Severina Raine the commander of the deck?

Fist of all, because this is a thematic deck. Every card here is either an alter art or could be imagined in the 40k universe. Also, because she is a rather powerful commander that fuses aristocrats with an aggressive token deck, offering both card draw and direct damage, while being very cheap herself.

• The deck's strengths:

This is an attrition deck, that wants to smother any enemies under a tide of tokens, and when that one inevitably succumbs, have the resources to deploy another: repeat ad nauseam. Give them a taste of the Emperor's fire! This deck is specially good at stalling away the board with tokens just enough time to gain the most value with one of our numerous boardwipes, while also being quite capable of rushing other slower decks.

Death is life. Serve the throne. The Emperor expects that everyon Guardsman shall do his duty. In darkness, follow the light of terra.

• The deck's weaknesses:

This is, at the core, a token deck, so anti token tech can dent our main plan: especially things like Illness in the Ranks and the sorts. We also have to know when to go all in or cash out of the field and commit Exterminatus on the enemy: remember that the most value is held on our commander's glorious hand: it being the holy bolter that blasts our own troops on the nape for card draw.
