Deck tech #4: Kestia.

Kestia, the often forgotten ugly stepsister to Estrid and Tuvasa. Her style is far more aggressive than her sisters, adopting a strategy closer to Edric rather than Enchantresses. Clogging the board with small, evasive creatures and poking the table to draw hundreds of cards and dumping your hand to clog the board even more! Tutor for enchantments in the right situation and foil the opponent or make a poke turn into a smack! Obvious inclusions to upgrade the deck involve cards such as Enchanted Evening and Reconnaissance to ensure card draw no matter what. A pillow fort package can also be implemented to deter those who do not like your pokes.

Enjoy!
