Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

How this deck works:
This deck focuses on spamming low drop artifact creatures to overwhelm your opponent and swarm them with an army once contested war zone/ battle cry/ tempered steel kick in. I incorporated Glint Hawks and Quest for Holy Relics to fish out Argentum armor and deliver final blows.

OMG, its, like, A WHITE DECK THAT RUNS FAST AND SHINES EARLY GAME.

Deck discussion for Tempered Steel

It says its mono-white at the top yet you have blue in it. I do like the glint hawk idols but what are the phyrexian revokers for? they seem kinda random in there more of a sideboard card

The Unified Wills were added in after I made the deck, but I still dont consider 4 spells enough to call it U/B. Glint hawk idol is my response to ratchet bombs, DoJ, Black Sun's Zenith. This is a low drop swarm deck, so people WILL side those against me and blow up the field. Glint hawk sits as a non creature artifact and provides me with defense and a means to recover after this happens, IF i wasnt able to Unified will the sweep card. Phyrexian revokers are in for two reasons. 1) theyre only a two drop, fits the decks mana curve perfectly. 2) EVERY deck has atleast one centerpiece that they rely on, whether it be Jace, Primevil, Blightsteel, whatever. Revoker is my response to those. I keep them reserved when needed, and if I see an annoyance coming out soon, I drop a revoker.

And yes, I do realize Blightsteel has no activated abilities. Revoker is just a 2 drop way for me to say GTFO to your planeswalkers and titans.

Revoker doesn't work on titans as they are all triggered abilities not activated ones

Revoker would stop them after the initial fetch lands/zombie spawn, right? I always counted them as attacking to activate the ability. Please, correct me if I am wrong.

Its considered a triggered ability not activated except in the case of inferno titan you would not be able to pay the 1 red to give it +1/+0. The others would be unaffected. sorry. You are however right on the planeswalkers and other annoying creatures like captivating vampire, steel hellkite, argent sphinx.
