Round 1, Fight!

This is my first build after upgrading a pre-con, and it hasn't been upgraded in at least 2 years, so expect some changes in the coming months.

The entire core of the deck is to fight, fight, and fight again! Use your opponent's creatures against them. Most fight spells require you to have a creature under your control - no problem, that's where Yasova comes in. Take their creature for a turn and then recycle them with a fight or gain resources by sacrificing them (Neoform, Evolutionary Leap, etc.). Let chaos reign!

If you have it, definitely add Neyith of the Dire Hunt.

Warning #1 - this deck is extremely difficulty (if not impossible) to play on webcam, because in most cases, you'll want to take control of a creature and keep control, which is difficult to manage unless in person.

Warning #2 - you may find yourself consulting ruilings the first few times you play the deck, because there are some interesting corner cases and interactions that are challenging to understand. For example: Willbreaker and Yasova Dragonclaw. At the beginning of combat on your turn, Yasova's trigger will go on the stack, AND you must choose a legal target before any payment is required. With Willbreaker in play, the 'breaker's triggered ability will go on top of Yasova's trigger. It is possible to gain control of a creature (for as long as you control Willbreaker) simply using Yasova's triggered ability. AND, on top of that, if this happens, Yasova's trigger will become illegal (because you now control the creature, not the opponent), so you do not pay the cost. Other cards that do something similiar (and allow you to have full control) are Nephalia Smuggler and Ghostly Flicker.
