Deck Description

Cheaper than most of the budget "decks" I see posted here. Coherent strategy. The Den Protectors in the sideboard are because I built this for a friend that happens to own some. I recommend them against control, but you could also just play Disdainful Stroke in that spot.

How to Play

Wall 1, Wall 2, Wall 3, Assault Formation, crash in for 14.

The Encrusts aren't really needed, but you want an extra enchantment to sacrifice to Dromoka's Command and find with Kruphix's Insight.

Deck discussion for Standard Simic Shields

With Assault Formation out, Shape the Sands and Triton Tactics become very good pump spells.

Yeah, you're right! I considered both but I think the bodies are big enough that we can just rely on the beat-down plan. The flex spots that those might fall into went to Encrust instead to help fight against Dromoka's Command and give you another target for Kruphix's Insight.

At least consider Triton Tactics, the extra effects of untaping 2 of your creatures and any creatures they block remain tapped is very useful as a defensive combat trick.
