A Tempo Order deck that I've been playing on an alt. Since it doesn't have a full set yet, I've been playing this deck a lot-and it's worked surprisingly well, up past the 1700 mark. This should be cheap on the black market and a fairly competitive deck.

 

How to pilot:

While the exact way you play varies from opponent to opponent, in general, you want to keep board control while taking out idols. Skirmishers, BOH, RBP are your big tools. Get your wings cleaver out, later, if you have the chance.

 

 

Since this deck is made with a limited budget, here's how you'd improve it:

The creatures-spells ratio is about right, and the same is true with the cost curve. Flip/pother/reversal can be switched out for any other displacement scroll.

You want to switch out those stormknights for Cleavers if you get the money, and Gallant Defender isn't hugely important either.

Also, I'm not a fan of wings soldier. I'd want to switch it out for more 3-drops. Partisan will go out too.

 

You might want to put in Decimation, a staple in most TO decks. It's not included because it's not on the account, and it costs a LOT on the BM. (again, switch it out for a spell; GOTF or Purification seem like candidates to substitute)
