Aggro / Wide Board. Built around Kithkin, Soldier, and types. Priority to clan buffs and tokens to maintain board control.
Other enchantments and removal spells were considered, but the power of consistently filling the board is too great. Key cards are those that cycle and create opportunities for token creation. Even with little mana generation, board may be filled fairly easily, due to low cost of cards and creature abilities. First strike on three creatures provides some survivability, especially when buffed. Additionally, the lifelink and threat of buffing on
Knight of Meadowgrain
pressures opponents early to remove it and allow you to continuously fill board.
Mulligan for
Ballyrush Banneret
,
Goldmeadow Stalwart
(searchable with
Ranger of Eos
), and
Militia's Pride
.
Preeminent Captain
onto itself or
Ranger of Eos
and
Wizened Cenn
are great mid-game to both provide buffs to creatures and tokens, as well as search deck and empty hand quickly and efficiently.
Kithkin Rabble
,
Kinsbaile Borderguard
, and
Elspeth, Knight-Errant
(played early) seal the deal when board control is achieved. Remember that
Plains
contribute to the power and toughness of
Kithkin Rabble
. The addition of
Thoughtweft Trio
provides mid-late game defense and pressure.
Issues may be other rush decks, large vigilent creatures, and those with flying damage. To counter those concerns, considering plays that focus on large buffs from token presence,
Brave the Elements
, and the ability of the plainswalker can help.
