Welcome to my stall deck! I plan on having a lot of fun with this once it's made.

So basically the focus of this deck is to just defend yourself and wait for either the combo of Hired Torturer / Stab Wound / One Thousand Lashes to whittle them down, OR wait for Ludevic's Test Subject   to hatch and eat everything.

---

CREATURES -

Hired Torturer - One of the staples of this deck. The slow whittling might well win you the game.

Basilica Guards - The guys will allow you to speed up the decaying process and gain a little life back in return.

Fog Bank / Hover Barrier - The two 'Juggernauts' of the deck. Almost nothing can get past these.

Xathrid Gorgon - Good for taking out important and dangerous creatures in the opponent's arsenal. Also a decent tank.

Ludevic's Test Subject   - The other win condition of the deck. Just incubate this guy a little bit and BAM! He walks over everything the opponent can throw at him.

---

ENCHANTMENTS -

Stab Wound - Works amazingly well in conjunction with Hired Torturer and One Thousand Lashes . Also cripples powerful creatures to stop them getting through your Walls.

One Thousand Lashes - Arrest on steroids.

Sinister Possession - Good for deterring offence on your walls or defence of Ludevic's Test Subject   .

---

SIDEBOARD -

Dissipate / Rewind - Just in case Ludevic's Test Subject   is being countered a little too often.

Arrest - Good for taking out trampling behemoths, such as Craterhoof Behemoth funnily enough. (Well, not quite)

Primal Clay - A very versatile creature. Can be used to speed up the killing process of defend more if you need a little more help.

Chalice of Life   - Another card that works well with the combo.

Vanguard's Shield - Now nothing, and I mean NOTHING can get through.
