I usually build lands (forests then desserts) either directly towards the opponents orb or in the direction that my opponent is building in order to challenge early double collection. Soulbound Sagami, Ruunin’s Messenger, Verduran Force, and Sagami Warrior are your early creatures and can all be established on turn 2. That creature can then walk towards your opponents orb and then be pushed into a postion to make to make a good trade or deal significant damage to you opponents orb using Khalim’s Training and Oradrim Fanatic. Often I put a kink in the land bridge I am making in order to avoid bad trades. Oradrim Templar and Lord of the Wastes are your finishers pushing large amounts of damage, while their abilities can offer interesting utilities. Emperor’s Commands aid in many situations, but are primarily there for Shaytan Assassin. If your opponent plays something in front of his orb that you cannot deal with you can move into double collection position with Messenger or Training and bide your time for large plays.

Soulbound Sagami is very useful in this rush strategy. The goal is to quickly establish him in a position to challenge the enemies’ faeria collectors. Then have Sagami die through combat placing his buff onto one of your cheaper creatures (Templar, Fanatic, or Warrior) that with their mobility are in a position to deal a lot of orb damage or contest the enemies’ faeria collectors.

The deck is fairly fun and can set up 2 turn lethal seemingly out of nowhere. It works very well against most other rush builds. It can struggle against blue or yellow tempo decks because of the transform effects and hard removal, but still can still win with the right draws.
