A mid-range Mardu deck based around life gain/drain, group slug, discard and death triggered effects. Purposefully built to be a "lite" version of stax, without the most hated cards of that archetype. Card effects are chosen to hinder or hurt someone's line of play, but not outright prevent it. Game plan is to defend itself with rattlesnakes and pillowfort/tax effects, while also making it more enticing for opponents to attack each other. Once they've beaten and bloodied each other, swoop in for the kill with several big finisher combos to steal the game.
