Yet another first strike deck, but with high-end color kill. The 2.35 average looks high on the 10/16/8/2/4 curve, but there is potential mana acceleration, and with so few high-cost cards responsible for raising the figure, it should be manageable. With the exception of the Pentarch Paladins, every card has or can acquire first strike or double strike directly. Honor of the Pure, Crusade, built-in protection, and Brave the Elements should make this a tough deck to defend against. There is an issue in that I, for some reason, left it at 62 cards, or perhaps I hoped I could accept that with a pair of Endless Horizons.
