This started out as a pretty simple and cheap G/W Ally deck, but soon the Allies were picked and needed the rest to join them. The deck got more expensive, ending with a deceptively pricey 2.48 (should be a 2.25 with the Spirit Guides factored out) and an 8/14/11/6/0/1 curve. The strangeness comes in the inclusion of almost random cards: Lurking Predators (can be useful for triggering certain benefits on opponent’s turn), Seedtime (against blue), Wrap in Vigor (when I have to stack against a huge attack), Awe Strike (a one-shot defense against something big), Damping Field (against artifacts), Enduring Renewal (ideal if I get it when I have tons of Allies already), Æther Vial (for bringing Allies in when it is not my turn), and Sensei’s Divining Top (for managing the deck when Enduring Renewal is in play). I have low expectations.
