A deck that focuses on detaining your opponents creatures while slowly sucking their life away with cards like
Pillory of the Sleepless
and
One Thousand Lashes
.
An Enchantment based deck.
Instead of killing your opponents creatures why not have them work for us?
Pillory of the Sleepless
Festering Wound
One Thousand Lashes
These are our win conditions. We will slowly drain their life away while their creatures do nothing (Ideally)
Pacifism
for some extra control...
The
Mesa Enchantress
,
Ethereal Armor
, and
Sphere of Safety
work wonders with the other enchantments listed here. Each feeding off the other often to ridiculous proportions.
These are all fairly obvious but what isn't are the following choices. Allow me to explain...
High Priest of Penance
This is just a plain good card. if you give him some health (via
Ethereal Armor
perhaps) he can kill a permanent without dying for free. His card reads whenever he takes damage he gets to destroy things. Even if you don't can't pump him he will still trade nicely and stall until you can lockdown their creatures. Also, He reads you MAY destroy a nonland so if you've already god his board enchanted when his ability resolves you don't have to kill anything.
Tidehollow Sculler
Every deck has problems and weaknesses, that is what makes Magic fun. This card just helps eliminate some cards that may prove dangerous to our asshat strategy. he's also another body we can give
Ethereal Armor
.
Martial Law
The ability to detain their biggest threat is tremendous and should not be taken likely. This is just a more adaptable pacifism in my book.
Debt to the Deathless
Basically in here just to give this deck a late game solution to someone who just WON'T DIE. DIIIIIIIIIIIIEEE.
This deck takes forever to win and pisses everyone off. Love it.
