One of my friends suggested I build an Edric deck. I wasn't a fan at first, but I was able to get a large number of the cards pretty cheap. The idea here is to flood the field with small, low-CMC creatures (weenies) and hopefully get Aluren out quickly to make the process even more painful for my opponents. Here's what I have so far.

When I posted this, I was baffled as to why on earth I had Avenger of Zendikar in the deck. Then I realized it was meant for my Trostani deck. I replace it with Young Wolf for now since I had one lying around. I'm open to suggestions for a better fit, though.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to find room for Notorious Throng. Coastal Piracy would be nice, especially if Edric gets tucked. I made a few more changes to the deck over the weekend.
