The combo route
Tap
Knight of the Reliquary with
Retreat to Coralhelm in play to grab a land. Untap
Knight of the Reliquary with
Retreat to Coralhelms ability. Tap the land you fetched and repeat for lots of mana and to put all forests, plains and as many fetches you want to pay for from your library into your graveyard. Fetches trigger
Retreat to Coralhelm twice, perfect for tapping down blockers. Fetch
Rogue's Passage to make the now incredibly huge
Knight of the Reliquary unblockable.
The aggro route
The deck is not dependent on the combo. We don't want to be screwed by a single Rest in Peace, Relic of Progenitus, Tormod's Crypt, Phyrexian Revoker, Pithing Needle, Path to Exile or the alike. The combo is actually pretty easy to disrupt, and then we are left with a pretty solid aggro strategy..
Beatsticks: Geist of Saint Traft, Knight of the Reliquary, Loxodon Smiter and Mirran Crusader
Enablers: Exalted from Noble Hierarch and Qasali Pridemage is great with Geist of Saint Traft and Mirran Crusader. Elspeth, Knight-Errant pumps and gives evasion. Retreat to Coralhelm taps down blockers.
The best thing about this deck is that your opponent has to choose between stopping the combo or the beatdown. Save a Terminate for Knight of the Reliquary and you will loose to Loxodon Smiter beatdown. Terminate my Loxodon Smiter and I have less to worry about when i combo :).
