The meta around here is not exactly rock-solid, so the SB is soft, but the aim is to help against what look to be the more popular decks (Ezuri, Alesha, Geist, etc.) and decks that I can't reliably interact with too well (Geist, Control, Burn, Mill, Storm/Doomsday).

Strengths of the Deck:
- Versatility: The deck has an answer for just about anything your opponent can put on the table.
- Consistency: With multiple tutors and redundancy the deck becomes extremely consistent.
- Endurance: Simply one of the most grindy decks I've ever played - no real surprise since it's basically Recurring Survival + The Rock.

Weakness of the Deck:
- Interaction Dependent: The deck has a tough(er) time against decks that don't want to interact with you, or more accurately, don't want to let you interact with them. Strategies like Hexproof Tron, Control, Burn, Mill, Storm, or Doomsday are a real problem since they shut down a significant portion of the deck.

Cards I'm considering testing for the MD:

[cards]Liliana of the Veil[/cards]

Cards I'm considering testing for the SB:

[cards]Aegis of the Gods
True Believer
Rule of Law
Eidolon of Rhetoric
Ethersworn Canonist
Sacred Ground[/cards]

I welcome any questions, advice, or comments.
