This is a deck I made because I was bored, this description is just my thinking process. Any tips? comment about them please. Every creature (but Abzan Beastmaster, and Iona, Shield of Emeria) has 0 power (Elspeth -3), 4 or more toughness (Assault Formation, Sight of the Scalelords, Skeleton Key, Abzan Beastmaster), and Defender (Perimeter Captain, Stalwart Shield-Bearers, Overgrown Battlement). The deck can win with Assault Formations effect of Each creature you control assigns combat damage equal to its toughness rather than its power. Overgrown Battlement is used to get the green mana to pay for the Assault Formations Target creature with defender can attack this turn as though it didn't have defender. mana cost. Abzan Beastmaster is for card draw. Tower Defense is almost like Shape the Sands, but for one more mana ALL your creatures get +0/+5 and reach untill end of turn. Last but not least Tree of Redemption will become a 13/13 with Assault formation for 4 mana, same with Fortified Rampart and Wall of Tanglecord become 6/6 for 2 mana. Also with all the defenders you can use Overgrown Battlement to pay the 6 colorless for Iona, Shield of Emeria! Last thing of common sense DON'T use Elspeth, Sun's Champion -3 if you have out Iona, Shield of Emeria! (Did not think this would work with only 20 land, but Overgrown Battlement is MVP)

"The best offense is a good defense."
