General Shanna, Purifying Blade is basically Bant {G}{W}{U} Tymna the Weaver.

The goal of the deck is simple - play Shanna, Purifying Blade, gain some life, and draw some cards. Play some payoff for all the lives you gain and go for the win.

I want to keep the deck "casual", therefore I do not use any tutors in this deck.
