The goal of this deck is to get out Yasova and steal all of your opponent's creatures with her by powering her up with equipment cards like Demonmail Hauberk, Obsidian Battle-Axe, and Hero's Blade, as well as Soulbonding her with Wolfir Silverheart.

But we won't be just using Yasova to steal creatures. This deck holds many options to steal and hopefully we'll be keeping as many of them as possible for more than one turn through creatures like Callous Oppressor, Nephalia Smuggler, Willbreaker, and enchantments that allow you to just yoink a creature from your opponent's grasp.

And if you can't keep the creatures you steal then obviously no one should be able to have them! So we have sacrifice cards that we can send our stolen creatures to when we're done using them like Scourge of Skola Vale, Bloodshot Cyclops, Shivan Harvest, Culling Dais, and even Neoform so we can get another creature to replace our lost one.

And if we can't steal a card then we can just destroy it! So we have classics like Acidic Slime, Reclamation Sage, Naturalize, Return to Nature, and a Banefire for good measure. Not to mention the handful of countermagic as well for any unwanted instants or sorceries.

I wanted to challenge myself to do a Quest for the Janklord style deck of making an entire deck with cards that are only 0.79 or less (I might have cheated on a few cards, but not by much). This is my first ever deck I've built so any and all advice is welcome.
