The general concept was to slow down the advances of other players through Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer augmented by cards like Illusionist's Bracers, Minamo, School at Water's Edge (also Vesuva and Thespian's Stage ), Unbender Tine, etc. to lock down more creatures at once with Bribery counters; Aurification or Dissipation Field for protection along with cards like Crawlspace, Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, Windborn Muse, Norn's Annex etc. to minimize attackers; Cho-Manno, Revolutionary or Fog Bank with Pariah's Shield to keep me alive long enough to get thing set up. Potential wincons include Tromokratis who is unblockable once an opponent has a single bribed creature, Azor's Elocutors + Paradox Haze with cards that give extra turns to create a countdown to end game, and a few token generators like Luminarch Ascension, Elspeth, Sun's Champion, and Elspeth, Knight-Errant.
