Because sometimes, your power does not matter

Doran, the Siege Tower EDH makes leaves you without a target until you play him, and then beat in your opponents with all of your defenders that can now attack thanks to Rolling Stones , Animate Wall , Warmonger's Chariot , and Wakestone Gargoyle . Although these are only two cards, you can tutor for them with Diabolic Tutor , Sterling Grove , and Idyllic Tutors. Even if you do not get these combo pieces, you are still able to win because there are still quite a few powerful creatures without defender. Vhati il-Dal allows you to turn any creature into a 1/1, provided Doran is out.

If you have any cards that either tutor for, or allow my creatures to lose defender, it would be greatly appreciated.

(Note): Yes, I know how amazing shocklands and fetchlands and all those lands are, but I am on a less than $100 dollar budget, and this deck is meant to be played casually, not competitively. So when you comment, try to abstain from really expensive cards

Thank you for looking through my deck, and have a nice day :)
