Deck Description

Did NOBODY else draft white?

How to Play

Started with Knight of the White Orchid, then was passed Knightly Valor and Iroas's Champion and was off to the races. Found all three Consul's Lieutenants after that, including one halfway through the last drafting round, and another Champ in each of the three rounds as well. And TWO Blessed Spirits to go with my bevy of enchantments, including the persistent Infectious Bloodlust.

This deck didn't even have a 1-drop except the Helmet, but was still ridiculously fast. Consistently had one of my first strikers swinging through by Turn 3, usually beefed with a combat trick and/or enchantment. Only two games went past my 5th or 6th turn...by then, I was swinging for lethal in every other game. I won the other two slower games on the back of beefed up Blessed Spirits.

Best play of the night: he drops a couple blockers to hold off my early Consul's Lieutenant. Turn three, I drop Iroas's Champion. He follows with Guardian Automaton. Turn 4, I play Mighty Leap on the Champ, and follow it up with two Titan's Strengths. Boom, 20 damage in the air, game over.

Most games, it was just too fast for blockers at all. Game 1 I ran with the Flares, but didn't need them at all, sided them out, and never looked back. Almost always was ready with a 2-drop on Turn 2, and was consistently ahead after that, as my guys reliably became renowned. Lieutenant was just back-breaking since I had one ready Turn 2 most games, and then beefed the team after that. It was almost impossible to block, especially once opponents knew I had tricks like Leap and Strength. Helm was surprisingly helpful, almost always at least +2/+2 by the time I was ready to equip it on something, which is solid return on the low investment.

Loved this deck. Too bad I'll likely never have that good a pool again.
