Deck Description

So i was bored, so i thought of making a goat deck. Thing is, there aren't that many goat cards, and the red ones were rubbish, so i had to look to tokens. And springjack shepherd is a lovely source for 'em. Whether it works or not is questionable, but seems fun to me.

How to Play

Springjack is the core of the build, as he is pretty much the only way you'll get creatures. In the meantime, just protect yourself until you get him. How? Sphere of safety and norns annex does that very well. With atleast one of those up, you got nothing to fear, as you'll most likely have more enchantments up at the time you get the sphere, and norns annex can be cast as early as turn 3.
Things to note/tips:
- Springjack puts a goat in play for every white mana symbol on your side of the board, so a white enemy won't help you get ridiculously strong. That said, Norn's annex' phyrexian mana counts towards this, as it is still considered white mana.
- When the goats comes into play, its simultaneously, so they don't get the benefit from cathar's crusade. But, all your other goats will. Even if you got a true conviction out already, don't be afraid to put the second one in play. It does boost the shepherds ability with 3 goats after all. Leyline of sanctity will make sure that you won't be hit by any "destroy all target player owns" after all.
- Even if the opposing deck is white, don't be hesistant to throw out norn's annex. They will have to either save mana to attack, or sacrifice life to attack anyway. And at the time that isn't a problem for them, you'll most likely have sphere of safety around.
- Springjack pasture is mainly meant as a desperate mean of getting health, or if no flickers are available, so ye can get a goat to boost the rest of the others through C'sC

I know it costs one mana more, but have you considered putting in Suture Priest instead of, or in addition to, Soul's Attendant?
