Alternative title: The hand that feeds.

The purpose of this deck is two-fold. First, it accelerates the game for everyone involved, while politicking and selectively removing things that could present issues. Second, if I have not decided upon a king to make, another player has not combo'ed off, or if I've simply grown bored, this deck goes infinite (Sensei's, Selvala, Paradox for drawing out and getting lots of mana), striking and killing everyone with either lots of damage or lots of poison.

This deck has been built over nearly 5 years, refining it to be close to my ideal combination of hug vs aggro vs politics, and the sideboard is for cards I'm considering acquiring or haven't decided whether they fit in the deck yet. I'm trying to keep this decklist current.

Let me know what you think and whether you think other cards would mesh better! Happy to hear critiques.
