Notes
 
Tribal go wide deck.
Introduces tokens, auras, anthem/lord effects, protection, defender.

Tokens Needed:
1/1 White Soldier
-------------------------------------

Playing with this deck becomes more complex because of multiple anthem effects, and the introduction of creature auras and the O-ring exile affect, which are all new to the player. There is some gameplay decision-making about choosing the right card and the right defender, but often the best line is simply the passive one trying to expand the board. The deck highlights how a weak 1/1 with double strike can become powerful with the right support.

Initially this deck was the most overpowered. I removed one Glorious Anthem and one Mentor of the Meek , both for price but also for power. It seems reasonable now, but the Pentarch Ward remains a very strong card and may be the next for removal if the deck is simply too much. Raise the Alarm is the reason for the decks power, but it is also fundamental to the deck and should not be removed.

This deck originally had Perimeter Captain , but the price of the card shot up and doubled the cost of the whole deck. I replaced it with Valiant Guard . The loss of lifegain is annoying, although being able to attack with a powered up Valiant Guard offsets that a little. I considered adding a Soul Warden , Alabaster Mage , or Aerial Responder but I think that will cripple red too much in the matchup.

Rules To Learn
If two Perimeter Captain block, then they both get two triggers of their life gain ability (8 total life gained). 3 defenders = 18 gain. 4 = 32 gain.
Power bonus "anthem effects" in play are applied when seeing if the Mentor of the Meek ability will trigger. (Soldier enters, Mentor's ability goes on the stack. When the ability resolves, the soldier is already on the battlefield at increased power).

Art is subjective to personal taste. Here are my suggestions for artwork:
Voodoo version of Pacifism
Angel version of Glorious Anthem
2 runner version of Raise the Alarm
BFZ version of Angelic Gift
Don't forget to get some soldier token cards
