This deck is built around the idea of mass pumping unblockable creatures to limit my opponent's options for defense; using this strategy results in a favorable match up against midrange decks but a rather underpowered one against those who aren't blocking anyway.
I am running 16 one drops (8 flying, 8 unblockable) as my core, each of which is often played at face value ignoring morph and/or bestow, there is probably little room for improvement here considering how basic they are with the main consideration being Loyal Pegasus
The only non one drop evasive creature is currently Stratus Dancer who acts as both a larger threat and a half-hearted attempt to prevent sweepers, I am open to other suggestions for this slot
Now on to the finishers:
Eidolon of Countless Battles: I have a lot of creatures, and unblockable ones at that so the Eidolon usually results in about 4-6 additional unblockable damage per turn.
Great Teacher's Decree: Pretty much the reason for this deck, approximately 7 hits with this in effect will 20-0 someone, so 4 creatures is plenty to win with especially if you got in some hits beforehand
Ajani Steadfast: This guy is perfect since he can a) permanently mass pump and b) gain me some life if I really need it, but ultimately serves the same purpose as the others: make a tiny army threatening
Other Cards:
Dragonlord Ojutai: Decent potential finisher, especially if I can land Ajani Steadfast but I'm open to changes in this slot
Return to the Ranks: An attempt to bounce back from large amounts of removal, whether my efforts would be better spent just chasing the kill, I have no idea, however its in here for now
Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit: Doesn't always work but when she does, she works great, a little boost to a lot of creatures ends up being a massive damage boost making her similar to Signal Pest as a backup plan.Actually, now that I think about it, this deck is a whole lot like affinity :P
All suggestions welcome!
Note: If you end up playtesting this deck against others, results would be helpful
Other Note: From my goldfishing without significant interruption or a really bad hand, this deck wins at about turn 5 only swinging with unblockable creatures with a 2-3 damage margin
Time for the Matchups:
Aggro: When two aggro decks face each other, one must end up playing control. If you have a perfect hand then go for the kill, but otherwise, try to trade with their creatures and ultimately out attrition them with Return to the Ranks. Overall this matchup sucks for you since they have more value per creature than you by far and probably aren't gonna be blocking anyway.
Midrange: Perfect Matchup, just go straight for the win, they have no way to board stabilize against your creatures or kill you first.
Control: Return to the Ranks, Bident of Thassa and Stratus Dancer are all vital for withstanding the horde of mass and single removal they carry, this is your tie matchup in the magic the gathering game of rock, paper scissors, you need to kill them fast. (Beware the sideboard Anger of the Gods and Drown in Sorrows, and bring in all the card draw and Return to the Ranks
