The two generals Ravos, Soultender and Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa reminded me of Athreos, God of Passage and Doran, the Siege Tower (respectively), so I took inspiration from some of those edh decks and here's what I got! I feel like this deck does a decent job early game thanks to the defensive creatures and control (ie Swords to Plowshares , Doom Blade, Vindicate etc...). Ravos, Soultender and Athreos, God of Passage help keep board control mid-game, then, when ready, bring in Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa and tutor for Doran, the Siege Tower and those defensive creatures become a much bigger threat. Haven't playtested it yet, but it seems like everything should work. I'll continue to tweak it, so if you have any suggestions or questions about card choice be sure to drop a comment:) and be sure to hit the +1 if you liked the deck! NOTE: There's a way to swing on turn 4 for 44 pseudo-unblockable (Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa) on a player with 13 life. Let me know if you find any faster win cons (can win turn 3 if no blockers are out)
