The Deck:
Just a bunch of silver bullet / value creatures that can be tutored up with Fauna Shaman and Vivien for a good time. They both combo incredibly well with Serra Paragon, netting you card advantage and resilience through recursion while searching up whatever tool you need for the job to mitigate opposing strategies and grind hard without focusing on ETBs so that we don't get single-handedly crushed by Elesh Norn. Click on the "Custom" option of the sorting drop down tab to see how each card relates to the game plan. Any suggestions or CONSTRUCTIVE criticism in the comments is greatly appreciated!
Beating Aggro:
Prioritize low curve hands and trade off with their creatures in combat at every opportunity to protect your life total until you can start recurring and tutoring for proper answers or gain lots of life and lock them out of the game. For soldiers, Harbin will just flat out beat you in game one, so you'll have to play more aggressively to try and kill them before they draw it or constantly keep a Fateful Absence at the ready. For monoblue, try to prioritize gaining lots of life to lock them out because they're most likely packing lots of protection for their threats.
Beating Midrange:
Prioritize hands that have at least one Loamspeaker or Fauna Shaman so that you can either keep up with their plays or have them waste early turns using removal on your high-value low drops. Then once they've expended their removal and started casting their nice things like Sheoldred or Fable of the Mirror Breaker or Wedding Announcement, you can start tutoring for specific creatures that answer their threats, or find ones that will eventually win the game on their own like Defiler of Vigor, Steel Seraph, and Ulvenwald Oddity. Just play smart and use all of your mana efficiently every turn.
Beating Control:
Prioritize hands that have early plays to deal as much damage as possible before they can wrath and set up their win cons. Just be aware of when they are going to wrath and try not to over-extend unless you have your recursion and advantage pieces ready to rebuild afterwards. If you can stick a Vivien without them countering it, then it's pretty much game over at that point since she can draw incredible amounts of cards or just make rhinos while dodging Farewells herself. Don't play right into counterspells unless you're baiting them out to resolve a Paragon or Vivien later.
Beating Combo:
Simply sniff out whatever their combo may be and then dismantle it with the disruptive tools at your disposal. Should be a rather easy matchup as long as they aren't packing insane amounts of removal.
Always Remember:
Have fun and be nice to your opponents while respecting their time and playing expeditiously. Most of them won't know what the hell this deck is doing or even realize that it's a toolbox deck until the match is over and you're able to talk about all of the weird decision trees you had to parse out. Don't get salty when you don't find what you need and don't rub salt in the opponent's wounds when they whine about how you "Had exactly what you needed every time."
