No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

... So I like multicoloured cards. Come at me brah.

Every creature serves to buff another creature here, the enchantments are overkill, and the spells are there to make sure you don't die in the process.
Turn 3 usually means having 2 X-Blades out.
Turn 4 usually plops out a Liege - at this point, you have (or are reasonably close to having) 2x 5/4's with some sort of perk, and a Liege.
Start swingin' baby. (Assuming you haven't already).

As usual, any comments/suggestions are appreciated. At the moment I'm loving how cheap this deck would be, so if you're up for suggesting a card, consider the cost of adding it.
[At the time of writing, the most expensive card is: Glen Elendra Liege (AVG. £/$2.34), closely followed by the M12 lands]

Update (3/8/11):
- Replaced 1 Helm of the Ghastlord and 1 Steel of the Godhead with 2 Blessing of the Nephilim.
- Replaced 1 of each Liege with 1 Plains and 1 Swamp, to avoid mana screwing.

Deck discussion for Alaran X-Blades

Looks great to me. The draw effect from hindering light is good here as well as protecting you from a spell that an opponent uses on you. I never thought of using the bladers with the liege creatures and they work so fluently.
Heres my latest 3 color as well if u wanna take a look.

I'd switch Helm for Edge, it's cheaper and gives a bigger buff, despite the fact that it doesn't have a biff for blue, it'll still buff each of them a nice bit for only 1 mana, and or Blessing of the Nephilim, which would buff any of them by 3.

Thanks for the suggestions!
I think I'll be plopping in a couple of those Blessing of the Nephilims - I will be keeping in a few of those Helm of the Ghastlords though; the card draw and hand disruption would be invaluable on Turn 4 and beyond.
