I believe in general nonviolence. Therefore, this deck doesn't [often] win by attacking.

I run a few counterspells; ten plus Venser, Shaper Savant. Venser and Mystic Snake can be grabbed with Chord of Calling and provide another creature to help advance my nonviolent regime. Reaching out to other worlds in the multiverse is very important to me, so I've employed five planeswalkers as messengers for the cause.

Sometimes planeswalkers get a bit lazy. It's an unfortunate side effect of having nigh-infinite vacation spots immediately at your disposal. Therefore, I have a few gadgets ready to motivate them. They are: Gilder Bairn, Clockspinning, and Contagion Engine.

Going Infinite:

I've thrown in a few infinite combos just to spice things up.If I need to win the game right this instant, I use Arcanis the Omnipotent + Mind Over Matter to draw Laboratory Maniac and win.

Assuming I have Tamiyo, the Moon Sage's emblem, I can get infinite mana with Early Harvest and spend some of it on Staff of Domination. If I have the right amount of mana, the staff can stop violence in its tracks and cause a delightful feeling of bliss.

Winning The Game:

Although Laboratory Maniac is fairly consistent, he's a surprisingly boring individual. I prefer to leave him out of the picture if possible. On the other hand, getting Jace, the Mind Sculptor to use his ultimate is very entertaining.

If I'm gently urging someone to lose, but they just won't cave to any other method, I might have to utterly exterminate them. It's a sad necessity sometimes. Sometime in the future, I think I'll blackmai- I mean, convince Freyalise to create a Doubling Season for me.
