"Slow down."

This my sultai Aikido turtle deck idea. The deck is based on the character Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda and Tera Sinube from Star Wars Clone Wars. https://www.archidekt.com/decks/1160486#Aikido_turtle I uploaded first on the archideckt website. But I like this place for descriptions more.

The rule of this deck: You do not stay in front of the others. You Redirect the force. You do not kill, you use tricks. So no Murder , no Counterspell instead you have Imprisoned in the Moon and Aethersnatch . You bounce the creatures of your opponents with the various bounce spells and you let them fight with themself.

So the deck the following parts:

1. "You need to be prepared." Ramp, the usual stuff. Arcane Signet , Sol Ring , Farseek , Cultivate , Kodama's Reach . Some random extra is here: Springleaf Drum , Cryptolith Rite . Theese ramps can help to tap the old turtle.

2. “There are no accidents.” These are spells for redirecting what the opponents do. My favourite here is Commandeer .

3. "The greatest enemy is yourself" Clone s The clones needed to be those which can be the opponent's cards such as Clever Impersonator , Gigantoplasm , Mirrormade etc.

4. "You slow done!" The mass removals are mass bounce spells, which are strong alternatives compared to other board wipes. So yes Cyclonic Rift makes it's visit in the decklist and also Evacuation and AEtherize

5. "You are no threat anymore." The removals are not as strong as the colour combination let them be. So the strongest removals like Assassin's Trophy are not here. You have instead a more annoying removal package with enchantments. Imprisoned in the Moon , Kenrith's Transformation and Song of the Dryads are the primary slow removals.

6. "When will you realize? The more you take, the less you have" The final win condition of the deck is a big Villainous Wealth and whatever my opponents have and I steal that from them with Agent of Treachery Opposition Agent and Gonti, Lord of Luxury .
