Last time, we mentioned some protectors who can be very useful. Unfortunately, when a protector does what it's supposed to do, it dies. The only question now is how do you make the most of your protectors and keep your opponent busy while using your other allies to cause some real damage.
Medoc Spiritwarden is a protector's friend. Actually, he's friends with any ally in your deck, but protectors are especially useful with the dwarven priest. By using his ability, you can keep using the same protectors over and over again without having to worry about whether you'll draw a new one. In fact, with two or more Medoc Spiritwardens in play, your opponent will have to have a huge number of allies in position to attack before you'll have to worry about losing your regenerative priest(s).
Parvink is one of the most popular protectors, and for good reason. The little gnome comes with a free card for your hand, protector, and decent stats to boot. When you combine her with Medoc Spiritwarden, your opponent can be effectively locked in combat with the same little gnome over and over again, drawing you a card each time you recycle her from your graveyard and play her. Warden Tonarin, on the other hand, isn't as immediately beneficial as Parvink. However, the night elf warrior is perfect for blocking an opponent when you can't afford to spend the resources on Parvink or some other protector every turn. In fact, you can play him on the first turn of the game and generally count on him lasting long enough to be useful, however a well played ability from your opponent could send Tonarin to the graveyard quite easily.
When the Spiritwarden is absent or even when he himself is killed, Chasing A-Me 01 and Call the Spirit both come in handy. They can both recycle your recursive healer as well as the allies that Medoc may not have been able to revive. A deck bent on using these three cards, especially in concert, is sure to bring your opponents a lot of pain. Not to mention keep you in the running even when your deck stops giving you the allies you need.
With all this recycling of allies, you can guarantee that your opponent will be seriously frustrated. Besides... while your opponent is busy wiping out the endless stream of allies, you can be focusing on the bigger picture.
