Information

Introduction
The new promo card, Olyn of Urmstead, has amazing synergy with Milos, Unwavering Idealist.
When played with excess power, not only will you tutor Milos, you will also buff him!
I played a lot of Milos in Gauntlet back in the day, and most time I lost because I didn't draw Milos. Olyn brings a much needed consistency to the deck, and makes the deck that much better.

The Deck
I built this deck around Corrosive Dagger and Friends in Low Places, focusing on gaining a lot of influence early. But, you can also build more into Bear Arms, and replace the influence package (Ironthorn, Lawman, Bulletshaper etc...) with more token generation + buff for Milos! Basically, as long as you run both Olyn of Urmstead and Milos, Unwavering Idealist, you can build it however you want.

Playing
Mulligan for either Olyn of Urmstead or Milos, Unwavering Idealist. Depending on the opponent, it might be safe to just drop Milos on 3 (Aurelian Fliers, Justice, Time...) or you might want to hold it to pop off later.
Olyn of Urmstead isn't just for fetching Milos. You can also fetch the merchant or any other unit.
The Milos, Unwavering Idealist + Bear Arms combo is still very good. It ramps up really quickly.

Weakness
This deck struggles with fliers. If someone knows how to market against fliers or how to build the deck so that it becomes stronger against fliers, let me know... At least with Aurelian Fliers you can drop Milos on 3 and scale fast enough to race them, but Stonescar Dragons just F me up.

Finals Thoughts
Like many others, I felt that Olyn was a very underwhleming card when it was first revealed. However, after playing around with it in the Milos deck, it became one of my new favs. I highly recommend you try a Milos deck, it is a blast to play.

Update
maslovk with a great suggestion against fliers to run Fearless Crescendo instead of Salvo.
That would mean you need to maindeck Friends in Low Places, but that is hardly a downside (I'd say it's an upside).
I personally like the Whirling Duo in the market, since often times when you pop off with Milos against an aggro deck, you are at low health. Might help you come back.
Helena, Skyguide is in there because Helena.

PandaMan0's excellent market options for dealing with fliers and protection of your units has been added to the sideboard.

Helena got nerfed lmaooo, still good tho.

Resounding Shockwave in the market can help with fliers specifically. Also consider Orene's Scepter in the market as well.

Both awesome suggestions, added the market options to the sideboard so people can personalize their markets. Thank you!

How about 3-cost market (manacles, pristine light, may be Ever Loyal) with 1-cost access to market + flying? You may cut Blazing Salvo for this.

That is... a great idea. Damn. Updated decklist, thank you!
