The objective is to get big walls out then let them attack with either Arcades, the Strategist or Assault Formation. There's also a lot of counter and board wipe to make sure your opponent doesn't outpace you. There's also an infinite combo with Pemmin's Aura and Axebane Guardian for infinite mana and infinite toughness and damage due to arcades.
