Braids is one of my favorite commanders of all time. I know that she is not that much competitiv, but it speeds and opens up multiplayer rounds and is always good for some suprises.

There is not real "theme" for my deck, its just overall good cards in their cathegories. Play Braids, Conjourer Adept in the turn right before yours or bounce her back before other peoples turn, drop some big threads and protect them. I made sure to have answeres for other peoples free drops with copies like Clever Impersonator or Phyrexian Metamorph for example and if nothing helps anymore just massremove the boards with Cyclonic Rift with little effect on yours (mostly).

Oh.. not to forget one of my favorite combos of all time: Blightsteel Colossus + Sakashima's Student Always feel like a real Ninja Ninjutsuing in as a copy of Blightsteel, dropping jaws and their lifepoints to 0.

This deck is under permanent construction and I do know, that there are some cards like Tawnos's Coffin which are great as a protect/utility card or Winding Canyons, Mana Drain but those cost money i havn't been able to put into this deck for now.

Feel free to comment if you see some good cuts or better cards, would be nice if the suggestions wouldn't just be thrown in just by cardname and nothing else in the comment.
