Deck Description

Just another Level Up deck...with a few twists.

How to Play

Your standard W/U leveler staples are here: Student of Warfare, Hada Spy Patrol, Kabira Vindicator, Venerated Teacher, and others. And, of course, Time of Heroes to make your levelers huge and Training Grounds to make their leveling much, much faster (two of them means you can immediately fully level up Ikiral Outrider!).

Then come the tricks. There are ways to bounce Venerated Teacher and retrigger his two free level up counters for all by way of Cloudshift. Restoration Angel, and Venser. And you can add more level up counters to everyone by proliferating with Viral Drake...who, by the way, gets big help from Training Grounds as well!

And finally, since these levelers all happen to be Human, Champion of the Parish is a great alternate one-drop to Student of Warfare (especially considering Teacher may be re-entering the field a few times, too), and Mass Appeal can completely restock your hand on the cheap.

The sideboard has a few more tricks, with artifact/enchantment hate (Devout Chaplain, again working nicely with all the Humans here), Rootborn Defenses to protect against kill spells and especially sweepers, and Familiar's Ruse as a handy way to counter key spells and return Teacher to hand at the same time!

I know many others before me have tinkered with Level Up. Any tips or tricks I should know about? Any constructive comments = guaranteed +1 rep points. Thanks!
