i did't have enough room to put these but add these to the dack: 1 enlightened tutor 1 disenchant 1 allay 1 swords to phowshares 2 wrath of god 1 blessed reversal i have never lost with this version of the deck. just build defense then run youropponents out of cards. with lifeline and veteran bodyguard, you don't take combat damage. harsh judgement stops red or black direct damage. ashdon's battle gear takes out little creatures and the intrepid hero takes out the big ones. and of corse worship and avatar of hope boost the defense a little. then, just run them out of cards. howling mine speeds things up and cursed rack keeps your opponent from gaining too much of an advantage off of the mine. grinning totem lets you take out the best card in the deck. but of corse, the big bad library depleaters, grindstone millstone and helm of obedience will do your work for you.
