User blog comment:EsuNoTensai/World Suggestions for Defensive play Styles?/@comment-839017-20150118065855

Magic World decks overall tend to be rather defensive, simply taking potshots until its time for their explosive finale whilst fending off the opponent with some of the best spells in the game, though that does come at the cost of subpar stats, but its easy to shrug off.

Wizards involve setting up for Grandfather Clock and wiping the floor with the opponent in the two turns it gives you, and it's not exactly difficult to put 6 different Wizard cards in your drop. Plus they tend to appreciate a Gunrod as backup so you can just strike for 1 damage each turn no questions asked.

72 Pillars are a wee bit more aggresive what with Asmodai and his hilarious Dangerous Backdrop ability, and how Saturday Night Devil Fever simply requires 6 72 Pillars in the drop period, not differently named ones, to call out as many Size 1 72s you want, ignoring their call cost, for 2 gauge and a life, and it's quite easy to fill your drop with Size 1s with 2 Crit. They also have Devil Advantage on their side, so you can recover duplicate lost cards fairly easily in the deck.

In my own mind, I prefer the Pillars over the Wizards, but thats just be me enjoying their highly aggresive variation of defense.
