This is my current Burakos, Party Leader / Folk Hero deck. Like all my decks, I build to my own sense of fun. For this deck, I wanted to capture the feeling of a being a rich land baron hiring a party to do my dirty work. Naturally, I hire local legend Burakos who is both known for being helpful and harsh. This isn't some moral adventure after all- it's about getting results by any means necessary.

Power Level: 7

Main win-con: Creature damage

Alternative win-con: Revel in Riches

Strategy: This deck is built around the party mechanic but also has subthemes of extort and initiative. Keep hitting in when you can and close out the game with drain damage or a surprise Inkshield retaliation.

Combo:

There is a fun trick with the card Reconnaissance. You can activate it AFTER combat damage is dealt to untap your creatures, giving you pseudo-vigilance. It's also a neat trick to get Burakos' attack trigger but not have to worry about losing them in combat.
