How to Play

I'M QUOTING A BETTER DECK BUILDER THAN I EVER WILL BE
http://www.mtgvault.com/gykx/decks/death-by-defender-budget-2/

There are a few ways to set up the defender kill.

Method One: Axebane Guardian enchanted with Freed from the Real and at least one other defender on the field. With this you can tap and untap Axebane Guardian endlessly for infinite Mana.

Method Two: Axebane Guardian soulbound to Galvanic alchemist and at least three other defenders on the field. With this you can tap and untap Axebane Guardian endlessly for infinite Mana.

Method Three: Axebane Guardian equipped with Umbral Mantle and at least three other defenders on the field. With this you can tap and untap Axebane Guardian endlessly for infinite Mana.

With any of these set up, just use Diabolic Tutor to find and (or if you already have it in your hand by then) cast Fireball to kill your opponent! And all their creatures if you really want to rub it in their disbelieving face!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would put in Doran, The Siege Tower, would make all your defenders more deadly.

If you do put in Doran, then put in Slagwurm armor, it's pretty much will turn into a intense pump up for any defender.

Doran also requires some white mana to cast ( yeah yeah, i know, stating the obvious...). if you want to see my defender deck ( not really so much defender as boasting a lot of creatures with high toughness) then check it out: http://www.mtgvault.com/pyrothos/decks/the-best-defense/
