Well this deck is more or less a 4CW deck, but ive made some use of a
few stronghold cards and I think the deck is much stronger with the new
cards.

Here's the deck:

4 Knights en-Kor
4 Soltari Priests
4 Soltari Champion
2 White Knights
2 Soltari Monks
4 Wall of Essence

We have for creatures, early defense in the walls which can also serve
as a damage sink for the Knights en-Kor. The shadow creatures can start
to deal some big damage with a Soltari Champion or two in play and
unless your opponent is equipped to deal with them its going to be over
quickly. The Knights en-Kor are essentially pro-red with either a
soltari priest or wall of essence in play.

4 Disenchant
4 Cannibalize
4 Meekstone
3 Tithe
2 Honorable Passage
4 Cursed Scroll

The use for the disenchants should be obvious. Cannibalize and the
meekstone work excellently together. With a meekstone in play you
essentially get 2 creatures for 1B. And even without a meekstone,
putting counters on a 1/1 still only is a 3/3 and the walls can block
that. The cursed scrolls can take care of anything pro-black
and anything they cant kill will most prolly stay tapped with the
meekstone. Honorable Passage is just a damn good card whether you are
playing red or not.

Land

10 Plains
4 Gemstone Mines
3 Undiscovered Paradises
2 Cities of Brass

Sideboard

3 Perish
4 Pyroblast
2 Honorable Passage
2 Sleight of Mind
2 Aura of Silence
2 Chill

Comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to
Frank for posting the deck or for the Dojo in general.
