This deck will be maintained on Moxfield here.

Inspired by my Queen Marchesa deck, I wanted to create a similar deck but slightly more casual and more focused around creature combat.

The idea is to ramp and pillow fort while empowering your opponents to smash each other's faces in. Once your opponents are weakened, you can finish off who ever is left and sneak a win.

This deck may need to take on more control elements to ensure another player (like combo) doesn't totally run off with the game.

I just built this, primer to come after some more play testing and tweaking. If you're looking for a primer on this style of deck, see my Queen Marchesa deck, as well as this fantastic primer.

Update: This deck has become this deck, and is vastly better and more playable, though it no longer has a "give your opponents creatures" sub-theme.

Potential Changes to Make

Forbidden Orchard and Comeuppance of course once I pick up copies of both.

Non-util land -> Forbidden Orchard

Cyclonic Rift (rather let people hit each other than take away their toys/tokens) -> Comeuppance (just good)

Tamiyo might come out.

Key to the City (probably will end up cutting) -> Curse of Verbosity

Util land or non-land slot -> Maze of Ith - just too good

Linvala -> Hushbringer more useful, cheaper, need flying blockers

Crown of Doom probably too slow.

Bloodthirsty Blade might not be impactful enough.

Bitter Feud maybe out for something like Curse of Verbosity or Curse of Predation.

Collective Restraint
