Every time a new set is released, I like to play a bit of standard to see if the new cards shake things up at all. In Wilds of Eldraine, the mechanic of tapping your opponents creatures down (usually stunning them) is pushed pretty strongly and, in this deck, we're going to try to leverage that tech to get our fast, high power creatures through in an aggro strategy! There's quite a bit of synergy in the set for the taps, and a lot of value to be had! Hylda of the Icy Crown can really capitalize on the taps, creating good sized beaters, buffing our whole team, or preordaining! Sharae of Numbing Depths keeps the cards flowing as we tap, finding us the threats we need to close out the game! Icewrought Sentry is tailor made for this deck as a 3 drop that grows easily to 4 or 6 power every turn as we freeze down our opponents blockers. Add in its ability to tap down defenders on its own when it attacks and it really punches above its weight! Combined with a ton of tap down spells, aggressive white creatures and good ol' fashioned Azorious interaction elements and you've got a deck that can actually compete! Can it beat the S tier decks? Unknown, but without a doubt, it is very cool and super fun to play!
