This deck is meant to be simple, because it was build with the intention to be piloted by a beginner. It includes every common card type existing in Magic and can be easy to pilot.

Many of the cards are easy to grasp, but offer the possibility for further interactions.

The central cards are Open the Armory and Champion of the Parish/Thalia's Lieutenant. They were specifically chosen, because they significantly decrease bad luck or 'why am I not drawing this?' for the deck.

To continue the theme and build on this solid foundation several equipments and auras were chosen to tutor for. The main criteria was, that there is a synergy existing with a human theme.

Slayer's Plate and Butcher's Cleaver are examples among the equipment, except Godsend, which was included for power and feeling awesome for using it. Furthermore Bonds of Faith was included, because it tripled in advantage in this deck compared to Pacifism. The ability to 'tutor' for it and then either buffing or rendering an enemy creature useless is incredible.

Last, but not least, there are the combat tricks to teach the useage of instants and the bonus of never being straight forward in a game of Magic.

Luckily Strength of Arms also triples in flavor, synergy and power for this deck. Valorous Stance pronounces the choice of how to utilize cards and Brave the Elements pairs with the afore mentioned as a playset of protects, while also enabling the the beginner to rush in with all creatures.

TL;DR: All in all, this deck offers synergistic creatures, 'build your own monster', a good array on sorceries and instant and a number of removal spells. Generally speaking this deck is not best at anything, but it is a big axe in the woods; if you swing it, you will be able to hit most things.

I hope this description was helpful. Suggestions are welcome and there will be a big Maybeboard, but I will try to hold the deck very true to its core.
