Felothar the Steadfast leads a toughness-matters strategy, enabling high-toughness creatures, including many with defender, to deal combat damage based on their toughness rather than their power, turning defensive walls into a formidable offensive force. The deck generates massive card advantage by sacrificing high-toughness creatures to Felothar's activated ability, which draws cards equal to the sacrificed creature's toughness, while mana-generating defender creatures like Axebane Guardian and Overgrown Battlement accelerate into big threats. The deck wins primarily through combat with oversized toughness-based attackers, supplemented by life drain from Blight Pile and Indulging Patrician, and can close games with Towering Titan, which enters with counters equal to the board's total toughness.
