    Holy sh#$. This is good. And looks like a blast. And cheap!! Well, exept those Temple of Enlightenments.


    NICE! I want.


    So, question:
    Why soldier of the pantheon instead of Lagonna-Band Trailblazer?


    And Hands of Binding? I'm one of the card's biggest fans, but I don't think it's necessary here. I'd probably go with good-old-fashioned Detention Sphere instead. Or hidden strings.

      I can see it now.
      T1: Favored Hoplite
      T2: Phalanx Leader
      T3: Battlefield Thaumaturge
      T4: Launch the Fleet. Swing. Glimpse the Sun God. Gridlock.
      Favored Hoplite is a 7/8, Battlefield Thaumaturge is a 5/4, Phalanx Leader a 4/4, and then 3 tokens, each 3/3. All swinging, all unblocked. 25 damage.

        Thats the idea. :D In reality, the deck probably won't do that on regular basis though. However, defending against it is going to be a nightmare. Tethmos High priest is going to be absolutely banannas in the deck as well. With the Thaumaturge being able to give itself hexproof, and the Hight preist being able to reanimate it, you should always have a Thaumaturge on the battlefield at any given time. This unlocks the rest of the deck, and put an opponent on the defensive. Oh wait, you can't do that either.


        Soldier of the Pantheon is generally a metagame pick, but the Lagonna-Band Trailblazer is also really strong. 


        Detention Sphere is going to be a more stable pick overall, but the thought of Hands of Binding only costing one mana was a really strong possibility.


        All in all, thisa deck looks like a stong contender, and I want to pick up a playset of Battlefield Thamaturges ASAP. The card does some rediculous stuff in-block, and also makes cards like Comet Storm and Strength of the Tanjuru absolutely evil.
