Deck Primer / Description

The idea is to go both wide and tall with this one.
Enchantments help baird trigger, same with coppercoat vangaurd
Anim Pakal is a good army builder, works well with Baird's tokens.
Humans are mostly cannon fodder.
Searslicer Goblin and Krenko, Mob Boss work amazing in tandem, use tokens from baird to trigger searslicer goblin.
Aegis Angel triggers indistructible for Platinum Angel, last resort hail mary against decks that stop the army from building, or use indistructible trigger on any token creating creature.
Baird and Myrel work in tandem, gets out of hand for opponents very quickly.
Angels are the heavy hitters, lifesavers if Eater of Virtue picks up flying, vigilance, lifelink.
Aurelia, the Warleader can be a tko if used right, late game usually best time to play.
Exalted Sunborn is great for accelerating token creation, best for use with krenko mob boss/searslicer combo, or Baird/Myrel combo.
Avacyn is easy to transform with a token throwaway.
Use equipment on baird and he is feeding his own triggers at that point.
Warleader's Call and Authority of the Consuls is a great combo, tend to get out of hand for opponents if combo is presented before huge token triggers on either side. Krenko and myrel are best to play before warleaders call to avoid them being targeted before the combo can unfold.
Font of Vigor is a good addition, just never been one for auto win triggers. they feel cheap, unearned.
