Deck Description

The new Counterpunch Commander deck gave me an idea for a casual deck...

Basically, get out any combination of Suture Priest, Sigil Captain, Essence Warden, and Doubling Season, then Elf ramp into a good sized Alliance of Arms.

You either end up with double tokens, gaining life equal to twice your tokens, forcing your opponent to lose life equal to their tokens, or having your tokens come in as 3/3 instead of 1/1. And that's with only 1 other thing out when you cast Alliance... It just gets more awesome the more things you have out after that.

I've considered splashing Black so I can throw in Blood Seeker, Sanguine Bond, and some 1/1 board wipe spells (Marsh Casualties, BSZ, etc), but the inconsistency wasn't quite worth it... If you've got some suggestions on other black spells that'll make it worth while I'll consider it.


**Bragging update: Just played a turn 6 (coulda been turn 5 if I had it in my hand) Alliance for 11. Had 2 Priests and 2 Wardens out.... Gained 44 life and dealt 22 damage for the win without ever attacking :-)
