Deck Description

Deathtouch and first strike. It might not be a match made in heaven, but perhaps a match made in...well, someplace warmer and farther south.

How to Play

Not much to it: a bunch of deathtouch creatures, and either Ethereal Armor or Archetype of Courage to hand them first strike as well. On offense or defense, your creatures obviously then become very, very deadly, especially since Archetype negates opposing first strike as well.

The side strategy is a splash of Heroic, specifically with the under-appreciated Agent of the Fates. While you're slapping an aura on him or protecting him with Gods Willing, you get a bonus sacrifice out of it. Not too shabby.

If that's not all enough, you have some potent removal in the sideboard for planeswalkers, enchantments, artifacts, and even more for creatures if your deadly threats aren't sufficient to weed out the opposing army on their own. Also a set of each of these colors' God weapons: Spear being key for boosting most of your creatures out of Drown in Sorrow range, and Whip being useful for bringing back destroyed creatures and gaining you potentially gobs of life.

What do you think? I was going for something nobody would expect and should have a hard time stopping.
