Deck Description

Still working on the sideboard...
First version of the deck, still haven't play tested it.
A quick tempo deck with some control to help dominate the board. Not full out aggressive, but will get an alpha out (Knight of the Reliquary/Thrun with an equipment) that can be unblockable thanks to the Mother of Runes.
Between the Knight of the Reliquary and the Green Sun's Zenith, you'll be searching through and shuffling your library more than any G/W deck has the right to. This will make your divining top and sylvan library incredibly useful for sorting through cards.
Getting to the cards you need shouldn't be a problem, deciding which cards to include based on the metagame is the hard part.
It's probably weakest against combo decks. Gaddock Teeg and Thalia can help a lot with that, and the Pridemages can disrupt certain ones as well. Save your Swords or Paths for creature combos.

How to Play

T.1: Drop a weenie, which one will depend on what you're playing, against control, try to get out a Mom before they can counter it. If they're playing a lot of kill, play her when she'll be safest to get into play and survive.

T.2: Stoneforge is probably optimal here, but if you've got a BOP out, then a Knight of the Reliquary isn't a bad idea. With 3 mana you could also Green Sun's Zenith for a Pridemage, Predator or BOP and play another 1 drop.

If they're playing aggro, then a punishing fire would not be out of the question to keep their board state under control. You'll be able to get it back later with a Grove of the Burnwillows if you haven't got one in your hand yet.

This deck has the ability to react to a lot of different situations. How you play each turn will depend on how aggressive you need to be or how patient you need to be depending on your opponent. It can excel in both formats.
