How to Play

This deck should be played very similarly to a fast aggro. Drop delvers, stalkers, and tormented souls early and swing every turn. With the stalkers and souls you don't have to worry about losing them to blockers, be a little more careful with delver until he flips. ( 22 i/s give a nice > 1/3 chance each upkeep )

Once you've got field presence, start controlling your opponent's. Cipher hands of binding to one of the evasive creatures and keep swinging.

Later, pair Silverblade with the ciphered creature for double triggers and
additional damage. Turn 5, tap out for shadow slice, chunking off 9 from
your opponent from the cipher alone in addition to any possible extort,
base damage from your creatures, and very likely silverblade himself.
