Deck Description

What I need (aka future changes):
+1 Elspeth, Sun's Champion, -1 Athreos, God of Passage
+1 Brain Maggot, -1 Nyxborn Shieldmate
-1 Plains, +1 Temple of Triumph
-1 Mountain, +1 Temple of Triumph
-1 Swamp, +1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
-1 Plains, +1 Battlefield Forge
-1 Temple of Malice, +1 Temple of Triumph

How to Play

Still running Swiftspear and Despise as best early plays, especially if you can get swiftspear turn 1 and swiftspear-despise turn 2; the basic gist is get out a couple token makers early and make the opponent think you're going to go wide, then drop butcher and nom nom nom.

Ideal play:
t1 Mountain, Swiftspear swing 1
t2 Swamp, Swiftspear, Despise swing 4
t3 Plains, Ascendancy, swing 6
t4 pain land, Butcher, sac gob for haste, swing 13 (sac blocked gob for lifelink)
t5 pain land, Sarkhan, rollup, swing for 21 (sac blocked gob for lifelink)

Sideboard out 1 Sarkhan, Zurgo, 1 Shanker, 1 Hoplite, 1 Shieldmate, and 1 Ascendancy to bring in the 6 best removal spells for the opponent's deck, dropping Athreos, Iroas, Purphoros, and Eslpeth in that order if you need to go to 10.

I don't often run into wrong-color problems, since the vast majority of the lands provide multiple colors. It happens, rarely, but this deck has also taught me to love the mulligan. It's also a continuously evolving work, as evidenced by above posts. If you want to see the evolution, check out
