Deck Description

Beef up a big attacker, give it first strike and deathtouch, and dare the opponent to try and stop it!

How to Play

It's easier than you think. Bow of Nylea gives all your attackers deathtouch, and various white enchantments (Ethereal Armor, Armament of Nyx, Ghostblade Eidolon) add in first (or even double!) strike. Then it's just a matter of getting a big fatty to unleash; remember, the power only has to equal the number of defenders to take them all down with first strike and deathtouch.

The green constellation dudes really seem to be made for this sort of thing:

- Oakheart Dryads boosts a single creature. It's like the return of Exalted in this deck.

- Goldenhide Ox forces the opponent to block a creature. Nice for those 4 power vs 4 defender matchups!

- Humbler of Mortals gives trample. Because the only thing worse than having your creatures fall before a mighty battering ram is having damage get through to you anyway!

That's really the gist of it. If it's just not coming together that way, though, then Ethereal Armor plus all these enchantments should give you something big and nasty enough to get through anyway. And some enchantments you might normally want to slap on your own creatures can do nasty things to the opponent if you put them on THEIR creatures instead (like Armament of Nyx and especially Spirespine).

If facing heavy kill spells and/or burn, pull in some additional protection from the sideboard with Gods Willing and/or Ajani's Presence to keep your beefiest creatures alive. If flying is an issue, grab Gift of Orzhova. And if you need first strike for your other creatures (like on defense), Archetype of Courage is a good way to go.
