Guess who's back. Back again. Grendel's back. Tell a friend!

So, I decided to try an old meme because it got support.  Hilarious support, actually.  Teiwaz Gard is already kind of a stupid card.  But the implications of what it can do in conjunction with other cards is kind of disgusting.  Especially cards like Ultimate Buddy!.  You can actually target an Ultimate Buddy! from your drop zone and add it to the soul of your buddy monster to give it [Soulguard] and an extra soul.  This sounds awesome!  The only downside is that Legend World only really has one monster with limited survivability that would be solid if you can wall with it.  And that's good old Grendel.  Whenever Grendel is attacked by a monster, all monsters that attacked it are destroyed at the end of the turn.  It also cannot be destroyed by spells.  Its weaknesses were the hefty 3 gauge cost, its 6/2/6 statline, no real attack nullifiers that worked with a closed center, and not having [Soulguard].  This build fixes a good chunk of these issues and makes Grendel actually playable.  This deck's only real inconsistency is in drawing into Grendel to make the meme go live.  And you have a slew of Omnilords that can make use of your spell support while you're waiting to draw into Grendel.

This deck's strengths lie against decks that focus primarily on spell destruction and link attacks to get over walls.  It, however, has many weaknesses.  Especially [Penetrate], Balle Soliel, and mass soul removal.
