Deck Description

Fun/Legacy deck only.

After significant testing i changed this deck to having less power-ups but added flying creatures. The result is that you no longer get 10/12 and 10/15 creatures (more like 8/6s and 9/8s) but now can block/attack through flying and is overall much more formidable.

The Spirit Links have proven to be invaluable as a defensive measure (the only defense in the main deck) or as a means of massively adding life through high-power attacks. While great on the attack, it's very vulnerable to certain spells and artifacts. Meekstone is an example of one that can slay this deck in a microsecond. For this reason, the sideboard is extraordinarily important. BoG or Righteousness could be replaced by another creature but the others are needed to cover various contingencies.

Well thanx for the comments. i agree it needs at least one more creature and even though Tundra Wolves is a good fast creature it's not really in the theme of the deck. So i put in pikemen

New edit-didn't like being so open to flying creatures. Substituted Spirit Link and added Winter Orb to sideboard to slow down big spells and creatures. None of these spell or creatures requires more than 4 mana.
