This is my favorite iteration of Sigarda, Host of Herons. It eschews the typical Aura Voltron build seen for this general and instead utilizes a diverse suite of Equipment. Deck consistency is increased with shuffle effects, top deck manipulation, and tutors. Ramp allows for some very explosive starts. My primary (and only) strategy is focused on casting my general and dealing lethal damage with her.

This deck can be very aggressive and really puts pressure on the table. As such, it can make me a target, but I do enjoy the challenge! There are no alternate win conditions, infinite combos, or "Oops, I win!" moments with this deck. It's a thrill to play, because there is such a slim margin of error when piloting it.

There are many subtle synergies in the deck. I've listed some examples below.

Draw / Filter Synergies

• Sylvan Library / Scroll Rack / Sensei's Divining Top + Fetch Lands (or any shuffle effect).

• Puresteel Paladin / Sram, Senior Edificer + any Equipment

• Land Tax + Scroll Rack

• Skullclamp + Elspeth, Knight-Errant

• Horizon Canopy + Crucible of Worlds / Ramunap Excavator

Combat Synergies

• Sword of Fire and Ice / Sword of Light and Shadow / Umezawa's Jitte / Mask of Memory + Fireshrieker / Silverblade Paladin

• Wrath of God / Day of Judgment / Austere Command + Heroic Intervention / Darksteel Plate

• Berserk + Heroic Intervention / Darksteel Plate

• Fireshrieker + Inquisitor's Flail
