Tough Guy Assault

Modern* Aggro

So the strategy here is pretty simple it's aggro using Assault Formation and the new Behind the Scenes to do huge damage really fast and to cheat for unblockable creatures with skulk.

You want your opening hand with at least one copy of Assault Formation, a 1 drop creature, and the land to pay them respectively. Starting with more creatures or Behind the Scenes is just a cherry on top.

T1: play a land and either Disowned Ancestor or Treefolk Harbinger and Tutor for Doran, the Siege Tower.

T2: Assault Formation and swing with your essentially 4/4 or 3/3 respectively.

T3A: if your opponent has a major threat either Victim of the night or drop any spare creatures you have in hand.

T3B: if your opponent has no threat or plays a blocker, play Behind the Scenes and skulk with 0 power for damage. This should leave your opponent at 12 life.

T4: if T3A was chosen play Behind the Scenes and skulk. If T3B was played play creatures or buffs and continue to swing.

This is very much a prototype so advice is appreciated and of course this isn't a final draft.
