    This line got me thinking.
    I already confirmed your point that I was regarding Puresteel more as a combo engine.
    But ... if you think of Puresteel NOT as a combo engine, and it is quite OK if you...

    Re: Soldier Stompy (Tribal Tomb-Based Aggro)

    It seems to me that Daru Warchief would be a no-no with Delney as he pushes most creatures' power up to 3 and thus eliminates the doubling effect. No?

    Goblin Tomb Raider seems worth trying out in this deck.

    Building a deck around Aisha seems challenging because there are so many great Sorceries to sort out.
    Sorceries have arguably the strongest effects in the game to compensate for the fact that they...

    Re: UW Emry Ravager

    I figured since I get to 3 artifacts no later than T2 and often T1, Dispatches were preferable over StP.

    Re: UW Emry Ravager

    Points all taken to heart.

    The reason I omitted Sai is because of the Danger of him just getting into GY after Emry entering BF.
    To somehow solve that, I'd have to play multiples. Possible.

    It has multiple win avenues and has plenty of answers.

    I like Batterskull over Shadowspear here. Cheaper and needs no other creature.
    You're correct about Bitterthorn. I figured it could thin the deck but the 3CC cost is an obstacle.

    Adding Paladin left just a few red cards in the deck, neither of them vital.
    Mono white looks more potent.
