It really does try to kill the opponent 1 slow point at a time (are you really going to wrath of god to get rid of a sage owl and a freewind falcon?) Every once in a while I would get out a quick empyrial armored falcon or knight, but those were mainly just for show, I would almost always sideboard out the armor after the first match. It lost to a gerrard's wisdom deck, and to a burn deck in the semifinals (I couldn't draw any blue mana sources), but it was pretty reliable against counterpost and smacked buried alive around. I think I have to give it up; I don't see any way to keep it from being annihilated by any green deck (oh, you have elves and stampeding wildebeests- I'll just lose quietly now). Anyway, it's a little bit different, and fun to play, and if anyone can figure out how to beat a good green deck with it, I'd love to hear. David.Roderer@occ.treas.gov
