Standard Blue White Heroics Initial Build

Blue White Heroics Initial Build
Heroic was one of the mechanic that Theros introduced and for months and two expansions that were released after that set, there has not been a valid deck that has this as a main strategy. A similar version, and also used another Theros mechanic Inspire, was that of Ken Yukihiro’s Blue Black deck on GP Beijing. His strategy is more of a control-ish aggro approach that setup removals via Agent of the Fates’ Heroic trigger.

On last weekend’s Pro Tour which had the Theros Block format, one deck reminded me again of this build strategy and that was Cifka’s RW Heroic which made top 8. That decided me to search for reference decks online, compare their builds and finally came up with this list.
