My take on an awesome deck found here
Suggestions are always appreciated!
The Deck:
Varchild's War-Riders is used to drive all win conditions in this deck. The point of this deck is to exploit the cards downside in order to make a very unique and fun deck.
Win Condition:
Varchild's War-Riders+
Mantle of Leadership
allows Varchild's to become the win condition itself. Adding Boros Charms double strike ability can speed things up.
Varchild's War-Riders+ Rakdos Charm is a nice finisher.
Utility:
Orim's Chant, Dawn Charm, and
Crawlspace
offer the main forms of creature protection. They are hugely important as they help eliminate the downside of giving your opponent lots of tokens.
Dawn Charm and Boros Charm comes in handy with protecting Varchild's War-Riders
Swords to Plowshares is for quick and easy creature removal.
Isochron Scepter works best when combined with Dawn Charm or Orim's Chant, as it can lock down your opponent. It can be used with all of the utility cards, making the deck much more flexible and powerful. It also allows me to play needed utility cards without having the correct mana, should I need to.
Enlightened Tutor is great for fetching
Crawlspace
, Isochron Scepter,
Mantle of Leadership
, or even the artifact lands in a pinch.
Land:
Forbidden Orchard is a clear choice, as it not only allows for any type of mana I would need, but also helps fuel the deck mechanic.
Arid Mesa allows me to search for Plateau, Scrubland, or basic lands, while also thinning out the deck. This increases the chance to draw a more useful late game card than yet another land.
