The primary strategy when playing this deck is to flood the board with creature tokens. Raise the Alarm, Spectral Procession, Lingering Souls, and Shrine of Loyal Legions are instrumental in executing this plan. Once you control a few creatures, your mass pump effects make them a formidable force. Honor of the Pure and Intangible Virtue each give a permanent bonus to your creatures. Zealous Persecution only gives a temporary bonus, but it can also be effective at removing your opponent's creatures, particularly if the opponent is playing a similar strategy to yours. Zealous Persecution is also quite effective as a combat trickjust be sure to account for both the +1/+1 bonus to your creatures and the -1/-1 decrement to your opponent's creatures.

A number of your other cards are much more effective when you put multiple creatures onto the battlefield. For example, Windbrisk Heights gives you access to a free spell once you've attacked with three or more creatures, Soul Warden and Vault of the Archangel give you increasingly large amounts of life. It is crucial for you to always have lots of creatures on the battlefield.

To ensure everything goes according to plan, this deck includes a number of spells that remove a card of your choice from the opponent's hand. Using cards such as Thoughtseize, Inquisition of Kozilek, and Tidehollow Sculler, you can deprive your opponents of their strongest and most efficient resources. If your opponent has a card that can remove all of your creatures at the same time, such as Supreme Verdict, you will often want to take that card with Thoughtseize (or Duress, once you have access to your sideboard.
