FREEZE RAY!

FREEZE RAY!(vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/despicableme/images/f/f4/Gru_freeze_ray.jpg)

Icy Blast is INSANELY good! We get 2 free attacks, and they get none! If we have just 2 of our many 4-power guys on the field, that's 16 points of damage!

If they manage to play a guy in between, Crater's Claws takes him out.

If they try to kill one of our guys, Stubborn Denial.

Good night opponent!

Answers for every threat

Besides our many bargain-priced fierce creatures, we have multiple answers for theirs.
Big creatures - Piggify, Counter, Burn, or Freeze Ray.
Small creatures - Board wipe! Then just outclass them with bigger threats.
Enchantments - Counter, or Destroy en mass.
Planeswalkers - Counter, Burn, or Kill.with our creatures. Freeze Ray or Piggify can get blockers out of our way.
Control - As most of our creatures and not cheaply killed, we exhaust their spells. Then we counter their card draw and board wipes to prevent them from coming back.

The Fierce

Heir of the Wilds - 3/3 attacking death-toucher for 2.
Savage Knuckleblade - 4/4 for 3, with pump, haste, and survivability.
Boon Satyr - 4 power flash for 3 so you can hold up mana for tricks, or flash for 5 as a trick of its own.
Polukranos, World Eater - 5/5 for 4 with monstrous.
Ashcloud Phoenix - 4 power flyer for 4 that survives death.
Stormbreath Dragon - 4/4 flying haste pro-white monster. I need more of these.
Courser of Kruphix - the body and life gain to stop aggro, and the mana ramp to pace control.

The Ferocious

Stubborn Denial - Save a beast for 1? Counter Sorin for 1? Prevent burn for 1? Sign me up!
Crater's Claws - Kill a Rabblemaster for 1? Mantis Rider for 2? Butcher for 3? Lava Axe for 4? Deal!
Icy Blast - I attack, they don't block, and they don't attack back. Twice. If everybody played creatures, I'd always play 4 main deck. Well, game 2 the rest are coming in.
Arc Lightning - Stop hyper-aggro in its tracks!

The Ramp

Rattleclaw Mystic fixes our colors, often invaluable.
Elvish Mystic - Get us quickly to 3 mana, where our power lies.

The Morphs

Controlling decks want to know what they are dealing with so they can decide whether or not it's a threat. Morphs mess up the math. In this instance, Rattleclaw Mystic is not a threat, but Ashcloud Phoenix and Sagu Mauler are. When we play a morphed mystic, we force them to counter or kill it, because if they allow a Sagu Mauler to live, they are in trouble.

Morphs also give fits to UW Heroic which plays Gods Willing and Feat of Resistance . Therefore they will either hope-attack into the morph (which might become a 6/6 on them, or an Ashcloud which comes back) or desperately seek Aqueous Form, which we can destroy. So again we can get them to waste a Singing Bell Strike on a Rattleclaw, and then play another morph. In the end, chump-blocking may win us the game as we attack with our big guys.

Sideboard

The sideboard is pure card-advantage. Their many cards get ruined by few of our cards.
Curse of the Swine - Piggify troublemakers! (heroes, constellation, devotion, flyers, undying)
Anger of the Gods - kill small stuff (aggro, tokens)
Back to Nature - constellation, heroes, whip, Ascendancy, black aggro
Icy Blast - midrange, heroes
Disdainful Stroke - midrange and control (especially to counter draw).
More threats - control.

Updates Add

I've completely renovated the sideboard to what I hope are powerful answers to each archetype.

I also adjusted the main deck to deal better with aggro by maindecking Arc Lightning and more defensive spells. We'll see how it works.
