How to Play

I wonder why I haven't done this deck before. I haven't even realized how good rebels can be in a right deck! This looks pretty good, no?
Win the game by using rebels. They might seem weak and waste of time, but many of them have abilities that let you search for more rebels. This means that you'll always have some fresh rebels, and you even save some cards to your hand for rough times.

No ramosian Sergeant? :-)

My very first complete deck was a Rebel deck. I've been using and modifying it ever since! Right now I'm using an all-rebel deck with Illusionist's Bracers. When used on Lin Sivvi, I can search for 2 rebels each turn, or put 2 from my graveyard in my library. It's pretty insane :-) Rebels are awesomeness!

A great deck XD
I would like to suggest the following cards:
1. Big Game Hunter (CMC 3; destroys strong creatures that Rebels might find troublesome)
2. Defiant Vanguard (CMC 3; a kamikaze blocker)
3. Knight of Holy Nimbus (CMC 2; your opponent has to pay to kill it)
4. Ramosian Captain (CMC 3; first strike)
5. Ramosian Revivalist (CMC 4; it retrieves from the graveyard)
6. Shield Dancer (CMC 3; can block to kill your opponent's stuff)

dang. I didn't know that rebels could be this cool. :) I mean, I like the mechanic that they have to search for more of themselves, but I never really thought it was all that useful to search for increasingly smaller creatures.

It is! The trick is to search in response to whatever's attacking and lay down whatever it is you need: flying, first strike, pro-red or pro-black, lifelink,... Loads of stuff to choose from!

I've got my own Rebel deck, also using Illusionist's Bracers (crazy with Lin Sivvi!) and some cards ensuring an unblockable vigilance lifelink mass attack :-) Very fun!

Ok, that makes sense then I guess. I think that I would have to see it in action to get the full effect of how well it works. :). Seems cool though.

Thran Turbine can be helpfull for tutoring if you are not going with Illusionist's Bracers. I like to have 1 copy of Crib Swap. As win con Cover of Darkness or/and Mirror Entity.

Thran Turbine seems very helpful at first, however you completely lose your instant speed rebel searching and slow your deck down by a lot. I tried my Rebel deck a lot with Thran Turbine, but it works very counterproductive unfortunately. Searching for rebels in response to what's happening is far more valuable.

Mirror Entity is pretty priceful, no?
