As the name suggests, this deck is based around the amazing mechanics of flanking!
And for fun, we've even thrown banding into the mix.
The plan is to pump out our flanking creatures early like Mtenda Herder and Benalish Cavalry and start swinging.
Knight of Valor adds some muscle and Cavalry Pegasus for some evasion.
Benalish Hero adds a little extra evasion in the form of banding, and acts as a sacrificial lamb to protect our flankers.
Coalition Honor Guard is our Pauper Spellskite. Except all buffs, auras and burn is directed straight to them!
Then we round the rest of the deck out with:
Buffs like Charge and the multipurpose Bonds of Faith (also acts as prison)
Removal in Sunlance and Journey to Nowhere
Counters and Fog in Mana Tithe and Holy Day
The mana base is small but the deck can mostly run on 2-3 mana.
We have a little cycling in there too for getting rid of excess lands late game.
Side Board
Disenchant is here for obvious reasons.
Holy Light is our answer to weenie, goblin and token decks.
Dust to Dust is how we're going to shut down affinity players as we can remove their lands and creatures.
Rune of Protection: Red is here to stop burn. Added bonus is we can cycle the extras we draw for more useful cards.
