UPDATE 30 Nov, 2022 - Deck Dismanteled - Deck never became as effective as I would have hoped. - Lacked the powerful impact I would have expected; didn't manage to get strong enough creatures fast enough. Numbers yes, power no.

IN PROGRESS: UPDATE TO VERSION 4. See update progress on update-section below deck list. Will re-write intro later on.

INTRODUCTION:

My new iteration of my Torens, Fist of the Angels-deck. Previous version (now deleted list) was built around the idea that I could combine humans and elves into a gimmick-thematic deck. But after my first update, I soon realized that I had already swapped out so many elves that the elf-synergy was not good enough anymore.

Thus, this version 3.0, is now more or less a fully human-focused deck and pretty much follows what most people would build. I do retain the liberty of keeping some of my original ideas such as Armada Wurm, Siege Behemoth and Thunderfoot Baloth, just because I wanna have something that can pound on my enemies and trigger the training ability.

I also didn't manage to get my hands on Augur of Autumn or Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, but so far I've managed without them so I think I will be more than fine anyways.

KEY CARDS:

Commander(s):

• Torens, Fist of the Angels - Spits out humans. A lot of them!
• God-Eternal Oketra - Secondary Commander; basically Torens, but with zombies

Card Draw Engine:

• Idol of Oblivion - A star in any token-deck
• Welcoming Vampire - Oh, look! A nice, friendly neighborhood Vampire Lady
• Beast Whisperer - "Psst, wanna get some cards?"
• Mentor of the Meek - Weak, but generous
• Skullclamp - No introduction needed
• Rite of Harmony - Everyone brings a gift to the party!
• Laid to Rest - "Even in Death, I still serve."

SUPPORT:

Counters:

• Archangel of Thune - My fun-card; sub-theme with Soul Warden, Essence Warden, Suture Priest, Trostani, Selesnya's Voice and Graypelt Refuge. Just for the heck of it
• Loyal Guardian - Loyal Rhino is a giving Rhino
• Juniper Order Ranger - "One for me, one for you!"
• Cathars' Crusade - The more, the stronkerer!
• Gavony Township - The city will provide shelter and rest so you can grow stronger.

Boosts and Anthems:

• Beastmaster Ascension - Probably the golden pig of all the anthems here?
• Mirari's Wake - What a glorious anthem
• Goldnight Commander - A temporary crusade on a stick
• Hero of Bladehold - "I scream, you smash!"
• Kyler, Sigardian Emissary - There is strength in numbers
• Mirror Entity - "We shall grow together as a community."
• Thunderfoot Baloth - With big monsters comes great power

Other supporters:

• Abzan Falconer - "Fly on the wings of lo-ove..."
• Champion of Lambholt - Hide the troops in the shadow of the greatest warrior
• Katilda, Dawnhart Prime - In her eyes, everyone is just a dork
• Masako the Humorless - "SURPRISE, M****S!!!!"
• Odric, Master Tactician - "These are not the droids you're looking for."
• Saryth, the Viper's Fang - Supporter of all SJWs; Protected at home, toxic when confronting their enemies
• Siege Behemoth - Odric's pet. This is canon now!

STRATEGY:

This deck is not focusing at all on removal of creatures. Instead it tries to outlast everything the opponents throws at it. The main risk of backfire, is the low count of lands in this deck, which can result in it becoming difficult to cast Torens if he has been removed too many times. But in the end, swarming the enemies is the main goal here.

Suggestions are always welcome. Thank you for reading!
