Deck's game record since inception: 44 wins, 25 losses, 3 draws

Villainous Wealth has become my consistent go-to deck for my FNMs for the last two months. Seeking to continue improving it.

The Strategy: Use sweepers, spot removal and Kiora, the Crashing Wave to stave off attacks/damage in order to win in one of two ways - unrelenting Kraken tokens every turn or a souped-up Villainous Wealth. After some time, Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver has been added to the deck as an additional threat for the opponent to deal with as well as being able to potentially give me another creature threat for them to deal with.

This deck is experiencing more wins than losses and, win or lose, this deck is a lot of FUN to play. Even in a loss, I really enjoy piloting this deck. Enough so that I've stayed with it for some time now and enough so that I don't plan on brewing anything new in the near future.
