Deck Description

It's easy to assume that the white humans are good, because they share the same color with the angels. What if they weren't? What if, along the way, they decided to make darker allegiances, in order to end the bloodshed once and for all? What if humans decided that their souls were a small price to pay for the greater good?

The inspiration behind this deck is the notion that those that claim to follow the path of "good" are actually the ones worshiping "evil". That those that claim to be god-fearing, actually worship the devil.

In this deck, the humans have turned their back on their comrades from heaven, and have instead struck a deal with the devils, forming an alliance that will enable them to beat back the relentless onslaught of the undead, and their demonic overlords, once and for all.

How to Play

The idea is that this deck is fast and aggressive.
1. Build the army as quickly as possible
2. In the mean time keep the enemy off balance with Devils, and damage dealing sorcery spells (need more of these).
3. Save instant buffs for when you have enough for an attack. Usually 4-5 soldiers + either Odric or Captain of the Watch. Make every attack as damaging as possible.
4. If things look bad, keep the buffs for blocking.
5. Defy Death of Odric, or Captain of the Watch fall.

Major weaknesses:
1. No defenders with reach
2. Not enough damage sorcery spells to make them reliable for defense
3. No way to recoup life, however the objective of this deck is to maximise damage output and end the battle quickly.

Deck discussion for Unholy Alliance

After playing several matches, I classify this deck as a slightly mediocre novelty deck. It has potential for awesomeness, but I need to expand my collection a bit more. I want this deck to not employ any angels, or any creatures that one would classify as "good" (white birds, griffons, hounds etc.) I'll review my collection to see what I have. Maybe the sideboard of my vamp deck will yield something that'll help...

Tempted to make it more of a token factory deck to free up card slots for more offensive sorcery spells. I also want a few more of those Pitchburn Devils, or something along those lines, that I can use to keep the pressure on the opponent.
