---

This deck ignores all MTG lore and assumes its own generic one. It plays out like the other people in the pod are assaulting your kingdom, and you defend yourself.

First there are cards That form your army like Assemble the Legion, Lingering Souls, or Hanweir Garrison

Then there are generals commanding your army like Odric, Lunarch Marshal or Thalia, Heretic Cathar

The Queen's guard to protect you, or Queen Marchesa like Bastion Protector, Selfless Squire, and Protector of the Crown

The council to influence the game politically like Mathas, Fiend Seeker, Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker, and Darien, King of Kjeldor

Half of this deck in like half angel tribal as they descend from the heavens to ensure a long and righteous reign

Allies from from far and wide to aide you in the form of powerful and relevant abilities on legendary creatures like Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and Olivia Voldaren

Finally when hope is fading, break the glass and release the demons Westvale Abbey  , Elbrus, the Binding Blade  , or Master of Cruelties. Victory at any cost.

Queen Marchesa benefits from being the monarch and not being the monarch so this deck makes it beneficial to attack and be attacked. This is my favorite deck. I do not want to use tutors at all, but that is my thing.
