WE MUST HAVE COMPLIANCE

This deck is primarily based off of this deck tech from MTG Goldfish: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/budget-commander-baral-chief-of-compliance-32

Is your Pod cheating out creatures well before they should be able to and you wanna give them a speeding ticket? Is your Pod not removing particular threats before they become major problems? Were you a hall monitor as a child? Do you like to watch Cops?

This might be the deck for you if:

• You want to play a control deck
• Countering spells appeals to you
• Mild confiscation (FOR EVIDENCE) is something you and your pod are OK with.

Avoid this deck if:

• You play 1v1 commander (Baral is banned as a 1v1 commander)
• You like playing creatures
• You want to keep your friends

In progress tweaks, deck is certainly oppressive the more people are removed from the game. A couple upgrades are in the pipeline, mainly card: Rystic Study and Cyclonic Rift are auto includes when budget accommodates.
