Danitha Capashen, Paragon leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it. The list holds 12 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 2.59.
Early: Use the early turns on mana. Sword of the Animist and the rest of the 12 ramp pieces are what let the deck cast Danitha Capashen, Paragon on curve and keep casting after it.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Swords to Plowshares is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Puresteel Paladin keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Winds of Rath for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 2 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 2.59 average mana value the top end is cheap, so expect to deploy several spells a turn.
Win conditions: Wins through the commander and the strongest threats the colours offer, backed by real interaction.
