Deck Description

I only play budget and standard so keep that in mind if leaving suggestions.

This is a Sultai Heroic deck with plenty of ways to target, pump, save, and remove.

I have had much success against most archetypes with this deck although it does perform poorly against sweepers and heavy burn/removal. Although if you play smart you can outlast the latter.

How to Play

Turn 1- Hitting your 1 drops is nice, but it wont make or break you with this deck. If you get the option you are just ahead of the game.

Turn 2- This is much more critical. Here you're hoping for a Thaumaturge, but anything to fill the gap. It might just be worth it to swing in with your 1 drop and have a way to save it if need be.

Turn 3- Lets be honest, the Agent of the Fates is what makes this deck tick. If you feel safe play him now; I prefer to wait until I have 4 mana so I can get the quick creature removal or save him from removal with a triton tactics, counter, etc... A war-wing siren here does just fine as she is a little harder to remove and gets big quick (especially with Hardened Scales), or if you think you'll need some cards soon throw down a Triton Fortune Hunter.

Turn 4- By this point you (hopefully) have a Thaumaturge and an Agent and youre just picking off creatures at your leisure and pumping your guys as need be.

Turn 5- Same as turn 4 but hopefully dropping the Centaur Battlemaster for some serious danger upcoming.

Turn 6- Pump your battlemaster and you should be looking good.

Notes:

-Keep in mind that Heroic activates as soon as it is targeted...that means even if the spell is countered the heroic will still trigger! This is great when it comes to the Agent and some quick removal.
- Icy Blast is an amazing spell, especially when coupled with the Thaumaturge. I like to declare my attack (tapping everyone) and then cast Icy Blast to trigger all of my heroics or tap enemies as need be, all for U mana! Just keep in mind that the counters from your heroics WILL trigger before the spell resolves so you can inadvertently trigger the ferocious on Icy Blast putting you in a situation.
-Colossal Heroics + Agent of Fates= Double removal. Just make sure you are untapped to utilize it.
-If you come across a token deck (goblins, hornets, warriors, whatever) you will probably lose Game 1...sideboard in a Virulent Plague or two and watch them cringe as you take the rest.
