This deck is designed for simple tribal aggro, and aggro means turn 5 or bust. Cards like Mentor of the Meek and Field Marshal are the bread and butter of this aggro, while Brave the Elements will forever hold a special place in my heart for mono-white. I've tried to keep the decklist in the cheaper zone, so you don't have to take out a second mortgage to play the more expensive formats (looking at you, legacy). If you do like the older formats, Mother of Runes, Daru Warchief and others in the maybeboard are fun swapouts to try and play with.
Quick Breakdown of the sideboard:
-Aegis of the Gods: Shuts down hardcore burn decks, another aggro body
Subs with: Kytheon, Hero of Akros
-Aura of Silence: Necessary artifact/enchantment hate
Subs with: Journey to Nowhere
-Rest in Peace: Graveyard Hate
-Jotun Grunt: Graveyard hate, plus an undercosted body
Subs with: Precinct Captain
-Kor Firewalker: More burn hate
Subs with: Preeminent Captain
-Timely Reinforcements: Good for recovering tempo against other token decks, lifegain for a tricky spot, playing after a boardwipe with benefits e.g. Phyrexian Rebirth
Subs with: Guardians' Pledge
-Thalia, Guardian of Thraben: Delaying a board clear or counterspell 1 turn can be huge
Subs with: Kytheon, Hero of Akros
I'd love to hear any suggestions or comments you guys have for me, this is my first deck designed to compete against much more expensive and well'tested decklists. Post any thoughts you may have in the comments below:
