Basically this deck focuses on using the combo of Oreskos Sun Guide + Ephara's Radiance to fuel an Akroan Skyguard enchanted with Sunbond. As the Akroan Skyguard 's size grows, so does your life total and with it the insurance that if the Akroan Skyguard gets bounced or destroyed, you have some time to rebuild with another Sunbond. The secondary win condition here is Eidolon of Countless Battles . Because the deck is so focused on cheap enchantments and creatures, Eidolon of Countless Battles is perfect as a foil to a giant Sunbond-fueled Akroan Skyguard , especially when bestowed on a second Akroan Skyguard . As can be seen above, the Akroan Skyguard s are the primary offensive weapon here, utilizing both their Heroic ability and their flying to maximize their chances of getting through. The primary defense rests in the Setessan Battle Priest s, who are excellent blockers and also offer a life gain mechanism through their Heroic ability. The Spear of Heliod provides control for the deck, as does the Side Board, which is focused exclusively on control.
