A brew me and a friend created one night after the DKT game day. This is the first prototype, so suggestions from all round welcome!

Main Idea: Hero's Blade turn 2 + any of the legendary creatures in the deck turn 3. Protect them with Gods Willing etc. to swing through blockers and then use Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest's activated ability to swing for insane damage early game.

In grindier games jamming Zurgo Bellstriker to constantly throw a 5/4 double strike, haste creature seems to be pretty good if you can stick a Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest and have a non-creature spell.

Anax and Cymede + Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest is a blowout too if you can resolve a Titan's Strength on Anax and Cymede + Hero's Blade and activate Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest's ability, especially with a protection spell like Gods Willing, swinging for unblockable 22 damage.

Bringing back Zurgo Bellstriker with Alesha, Who Smiles at Death and getting a free equip onto Zurgo Bellstriker feels pretty sweet too.

Am really looking forward to the rotation of Theros block at the moment with this deck as it seems like it would fall down against mono-red aggro and Atarka red since they are so fast and the removal for Goblin Rabblemaster is lacking here. Will hopefully get some sweet additions too from origins what with the new flip/Planeswalker cycle that's yet to be spoiled!

Please +1 and leave any and all suggestions! P.S. If you see another deck similar to this floating around it's probably the half of this brew mastermind so be sure to +1 that too!
