My playgroup all chose individual clan-cycle mythic Dragons for us to build to celebrate the upcoming Tarkir set. Fortunately, I was given Betor as my option. There's a lot of unique design directions out of his mechanic, but I've essentially boiled it down to three:

1. Make a shit ton of tokens, then eventually drop +1/+1 counters on them (i.e. Cathar's Crusade, Bolster effects, etc) to grow them.
2. Some sort of slightly gimmicky tribal list. It's between Treefolk, Spiders, or just straight up Walls.
3. Play well-stated, efficient creatures for the cost, emphasizing more so on having a higher toughness, and potentially win through an Frontier Siege effects.

At least for right now, I'm going to go with option #3. This may / probably will change however.
