This an Esper "politics" theme deck.

Ertai wants to rule on high. He has assembled a group of advisors to help him on his path to victory in the upcoming election against his opponents.

He believes that he is above rules and will do anything to get ahead while ensuring others obey the laws of the land. He will levy taxes on his opponents and deny them resources while filling his own coffers with priceless gold and treasures.

Wincons:

• Azor's Elecutor's - one of the weirder "you win cards" but is perfectly themed for this deck.
• Revel in Riches - The deck generates a decent amount of treasure to help with the war effort and Ertai will definitely reap the spoils.
• Advisor Mill - deck is semi-tribal. Denying 12 cards at a time with 4 Advisor's in play will take time, but everything in politics does
• Mechanized Production - While being a politician first, Ertai also fancies himself as a titan of industry. This is an alternate-alternate win-con for revel in riches. We're printing money (treasures).
