A work in progress. Evade and swing in mass. Lots of humans, lots of enchantments.

Key combos:

Medomai the ageless+Aurelia the war leader+ral zarek

Sphere of Safety + Heliod, God of the Sun + Purphoros, God of the Forge

Medomai, Aurelia, and Ral Zarek allow for a whole lot of attack phases. Pretty obvious.

If you find yourself in a standstill with your opponent, keep pumping 2/1 enchantment creatures with Heliod and dealing damage with Purphoros while the Sphere of Safety makes it more and more difficult to attack you while you finish getting built up. If you get the chance, throw out Ephara, God of the Polis to give you draw advantage for every time you've summoned a creature with Heliod.

All of the enchantments in this deck provide a powerful defensive wall until you can drop your big creatures and the legion of tokens you should end up having. Sun Titan and Angel of Glory's Rise are great for recovering important humans and enchantments, at Sun Titan brings back ANY permanent with a CMC of three or less.

Even though this deck is primarily built for one-on-one duels, I use Ruhan as a way to spice up multiplayer games where it doesn't function as well but is still incredibly fun to play. Once I've randomly selected who Ruhan will be attacking, I typically have the rest of creatures attack that same person. It keeps things impartial and adds an interesting twist of politics into a deck that often gets shut down as it receives a lot of hate from faster decks.

I lose more often than I win simply because of hate responses from my play group, but I always enjoy using it no matter the outcome. If you have any suggestions, feel free to comment! I'm very proud of this silly deck and I would love to hear what you think!
