Daily Digest: The Red Skull

Occasionally I find a sweet deck that is a little confused, and this is one of those decks. I still love it though.

Doomwake Giant is kind of strange without a bunch of enchantments or even Whip of Erebos, but those are in the sideboard so I guess it’s okay. If things
are going well, we might draw into multiple enchantments anyway.

So how are we drawing a bunch of cards? With my favorite engine that has yet to be broken — Humble Defector! It combos well with Anger of the Gods,
Kolaghan’s Command, Doomwake Giant, and basically the entire deck, including the seldom-used Swift Warkite.

This deck looks very cool and potentially very good, assuming Humble Defector is going to be activated as many times as I think it will be.
