I've been challenged to make the kindest deck ever.

After being accused of playing only mean decks, or decks that pick on people, I've decided to go the other direction.

The goal is to not do damage or attack to win.

This does not mean giving the game away and going down like a chump.

After play-testing and tweaking, as of March 2023 I have played 30 3-7 player commander games and so far it has won 23 of them. Normally it takes the entire rest of the board to stop this deck in it's tracks (Unless they play a combo deck - even then, it can disrupt many combos). The deck doesn't fare as well in a 1v1 environment.

By turn 8 this deck doesn't look like it's doing much, but by turn 10 it has won the game. Part of it's charm is that it looks fairly harmless, however those that I have played against more than a few times know that I am the biggest threat at the table by turn 6 and they start rallying against me.

Start out by getting the draw engine out, enchantresses galore, then enchantments take the deck to the next level getting ready to draw out the majority of the deck and cast the cards for free. The idea is to be able to play Omniscience and while you play enchantment cards, you can draw into more cards and not get stopped by drawing lands. Chulane allows for land drops during the turn you are playing out most of your deck for free which will allow you to overload the cyclonic rift, cast one of the win conditions, and then teferi's protection to pass the turn. You win on your next upkeep. If Teferi's gets stopped, there is Sphinx of the Second Sun which will get you to another upkeep and win the game.

Welcome to the kindest deck ever made!

Synergies: Defense of the Heart (Requires opponents to have creatures - Felidar Sovreign & Sphinx of the Second Sun) Possible Turn 4 or less win.
