Basically this started out as me wondering if there was enough hand disruption stapled to creatures to effectively keep your opponent on the back foot until those creatures could close out the game. After looking at what was available I realized that most of the creatures were human and decided to lean harder into that angle with two General Kudro of Drannith and a single Rally the Ranks because 3 generals seemed too much and I still wanted that 3rd lord effect.
No sideboard as of yet since I’ve been playing in best of one. Crippling Fear was added after the deck seemed to consistently lose to other decks that were all-in on the go wide plan, but I can easily see it being moved to the sideboard for best of three.
The deck itself is pretty straightforward, try to drop a savior or giant killer turn one and then follow that with a discard spell or freebooter on turn two, then on turn 3 either play more discard or a silencer naming the best play your opponent has for the next turn. After that keep the hand disruption up or find a lord effect to close the game as quickly as possible.
Right now Luminarch Aspirant and sigrid, god favored are flex spots. As it is I still feel the curve is still too heavy around the 3 drop slot. Really I’d be happy to drop them in favor of one mana discard spells, but there are some decks where duress is a complete brick.

Reidane, God of the worthy and selfless saviors were added as wrath protection and regularly earn their spots. The saviors in particular are useful at keeping kitesail Freebooters as well as silverquill silencers alive in the face of removal heavy decks.
