Strengths and Weaknesses:

+ Brainstorm
+ Teferi
+ Many lines of play (combo/aggro/control)
+ Many combos

- Too slow for current(?) legacy
- Bad mana base
- Many combo pieces to assemble that not always work together (like Zirda + Heliod or Urza + Heliod)
- Very unlikely Heliod will be a creature

It is basically mid way between combo boost and grind. I want it to be a redundant combo deck close to what storm is, like t2-4 with some form of protection. Sideboard has a lot of possible options, i used to run sevinne but i had to put hope due to manatraders rental services. It has been good with karakas and emry tho. Enemy number 1 are rod and ouphe

1st place Bant Walker Heavy Snow Zidra Decklist no urza

Well, if you start the count at the paper release, I think this deck wins. I didn't even get my pre-ordered ones in yet, :laugh:.
