I've been playing a slightly upgraded Ghired precon, and I thought I'd try my hand at a fully new brew around him from the ground up. The goal is to cast Ghired as soon as possible so you can start swinging and populating. Once he's hit play, your goal is to make better tokens for him to populate than the rhino he comes with (which is already great if you can't get anything else). This is the first time I've built a deck with a Sunforger package. The deck gets a bunch of utility out of that, and by bringing its instants back into commission with Elixir of Immortality . Finally, there are two infinite combos around Helm of the Host , which makes Open the Armory better. Aurelia, the Warleader and Godo, Bandit Warlord both go infinite with the Helm. If neither this nor the token plan cuts it, Ghired wants to attack so much that a commander damage win is possible, usually with Sunforger and Whispersilk Cloak . It's slower, but it's there.

Feedback on the deck is much appreciated. If you enjoyed it, please consider leaving an upvote!
