Deck Description

This deck isn't quite standard due to the Jinxed Idols being MTG2011, but you can replace those with the two angels of jubilation and two massive raids, or all four massive raids to make it so.

How to Play

Start building your little swarm of minions with Gather the Townfolks, Unruly Mob and Sunhome Guildmages. Bring in more swarms with Increasing Devotion, and Geist-Honored Monk. Then bring out Jinxed idols and sack your little minions to give the idols to your opponent, making your unruly mobs bigger and forcing the opponent to kill his own creatures if he doesn't want to keep the idols. With the creature advantage, hopefully bolstered by intangible virtue by now. Attack and make use of Rally the Peasants to wreak untold damage. The Healers of the Pride provide you with life gain since you don't have a lot of defense against fliers. The biggest guns are your Angelic Skirmishers. They serve two purposes: (1) Flying defense/attack, (2) Each combat you can give all of your minions either first strike, lifelink, or vigilance, which can be used to great advantage with Rally the Peasants for massive life gain or swarms of pumped up first strikers. If you want to make the deck standard simply trade the idols in for the 2 Angels of Jubilation which make your creatures that much bigger, and Massive Raid which can be used to blast your opponent with untold damage.

Deck discussion for Swarms of Idol Worshipers

I could see switching out Defy Death and Divine Verdict for two Oblivion Rings, although I like the possibility of getting some of the non-token creatures back into play should they be taken out.
