Synnergies:

1. Flamehearth banneret works well to make the high cost warriors a little cheaper. Also works well with viashino sandstalker, which will be played a lot.
Another great use of flamehearth banneret is the discard option, which can be used to put a counter on champion of lambholt, thereby decreasing the opponents likelyness of blocking your creatures!

2. Champion of lambholt works extremely well with viashino sandscout.
Even if you cannot safely hit your opponent for 2, playing a viashino is a  +1/+1 counter on lambholt for 2 mana! Beefing lambholt up will make sure your sandscouts and sandstalkers can hit for free after a while.

3. Primal forcemage is another centrepiece for viashino combo. When on the battlefield just the 2 mana viashino will be a 5/4 haste which returns each turn if not dealth with!

4. Forced adaption can be used to beef up champion of lambholt or in general any minion required for viashino combo, making them much less prone to damage spells.

5. Giant growth + champion of lambholt will basically mean that your opponent can only block with minions of power 4 or greater. Together a 4 mana combo so therefore very cheap and effective.

8. Gruul ragebeast is currently the only way of removing flyers and ability based creatures. Excellent tool to clear board of opponent with viashino's if in combo with primal forcemage. Even without viashino sandstalker is strong enough to take out a wide range of creatures, but added survivability gives strong change to be able to attack afterwards as well!

9. Soul of the harvest being a strong creature itself will also combo well with viashino sandscout, essentially being a free card per turn for 2 mana, if not destroyed.

10. Avenger of zendikar: Together with champion of lambholt this means almost certain victory. A 1/1 champion of lambholt will essentially become a 9/9 creature with the ability that ALL your creatures become unblockable.

11. Life's legacy is particularly strong in combination with primal forcemage and a cheap monster. Since there are numerous ways to boost monsters, this can become very fast a complete new hand.

12. Twinflame. Quickly boost your guys. Ex. sandscout + forcemage => 5/4, cast twinflame => 8/7 haste creature...


Strength of the deck is the ability to use viashino's in wide range of circumstances. For unexpected damage, but also as a sort of sorcery with many uses, which can be cast each turn!

* Wasteland viper excellent card to use as blocking tool.
