Deck Description

Finally finished it after sitting days just staring at the options. Going to playtest it and see how it works with the combination I went with.

So in short, the deck is centred around making your opponents contemplate blocking your attacking creatures, because after a few tries they'll notice the amount of combat tricks this deck is sporting. When your creatures do strike home, you'll either get them stronger with +1/+1 counters, get the Honored Hierarch Renown so he can continue striking whilst adding more mana to your pool and eventually perish your enemy.
... at least in theory. It's not very competitive I'd say, it's meant to be more of a fun and interactive deck, the type that I like the most.

The reason for the incredibly low land base of 12 is because of Honored Hierarch, Utopia Spawl, One with Nature and Fertile Ground. Because of the amount of card draw this deck does I wanted it to not lands upon lands to your hand which are essentially dead cards after the first one. So instead I wanted to use cards like these which when you draw them you can play and ramp up for the next turn with more mana, more creatures, more options.
