Okay, so I don't actually-factually have a pet cat. But if I did have a pet, it probably would be a cat. :P My actual reason for building this is because one of my very first "actual" decks when I started playing CCGs was a Yugioh Cat deck. (For the record, cats have zero synergy in Yugioh other than being beasts/beast-warriors/ - the deck was bad, but I was 10 and I loved every second of playing with it.)

Now that the C17 lists are out, I think my list for this deck is about finalized as well. I cut most of the equipment subtheme, a lot of the ramp and expensive cards the original list was ramping towards. Instead, I'm setting this up to be an aggro deck with a bunch of 2 and 3 drops that can attack for 5+ damage thanks to Arahbo.

The deck has a couple of win conditions. The first is Arahbo himself, since we can play him, pump up a cat a bunch, and probably kill someone if they've taken a couple other hits that game. He's especially dangerous with Adorned Pouncer, Lost Leonin, Skyhunter Skirmisher, and Chameleon Colossus. Berserk , Rancor, Vorrac Battlehorns , Duelist's Heritage, Rhonas's Monument, Ajani, Caller of the Pride, and Elspeth, Knight-Errant also help to transform the common house cat into Phage the Untouchable.

We can also win via Overrun effects, going wide with Oketra's Monument, White Sun's Zenith, Elspeth, Knight-Errant, and Nacatl War-Pride, then pumping the team with Beastmaster Ascension, Mirror Entity, and Jazal Goldmane for lethal. Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist and Glare of Subdual also help for getting blockers out of the way.

And then we have the janky infinite combo. Cryptolith Rite + Leonin Battlemage + Whitemane Lion + Oketra's Monument/Herald’s Horn lets the deck make infinite warrior tokens. From there, a Rhonas's Monument can be used to make an infinite/infinite attacker, or we can draw most/all of our deck with Skullclamp, Lifecrafter's Bestiary or Evolutionary Leap. This will probably almost never come up, and is super easy to disrupt, but it's a thing and can let us win basically out of nowhere.
