This is my deck I threw together around Basandra. The basic plan is mess around and control the combat step as best as I can and it has a little bit of a token theme as well...as always ideas, criticisms, and general advice are welcome.

[Gorzo]

I Ike it, ive always been a fan of Basandra. The only suggestion I can think of is to give yourself additional combat phases with {world at war} and {hellkite charger}

[Darius]

hmm I love those ideas not only because they are cool but also because they are red. I've noticed that i tend to turn more white than red and wanted to include more red cards anyway....now to find a way to gather the pieces that i still need on a budget

[Karrthus]

Since you have quite a few token pumpers why not use {Raping Bombardment} and {Hellrider}.

[Darius]

hmm i meant to put hellrider in for sure.... ugh i always forget something.
oh and does anyone see anything that should be taken out in your opinion?
