+1 for Deck name/Concept. I love Code Geass

Instead of Mind Control why not use Corrupted Conscience ? The only reason why I can see you going against that is if they were to take it back, it'd be difficult to deal with. But aside from that, you might want to give it a try.

Not a bad idea I suppose. I don't really remember why I left it out- probably something to do with people getting mad when infect it played.

Though by that logic, it's an insta-switch.

Also, Don't you think Mindslaver is perfect for this deck?

Very much so. I agree that both Mindslaver and Worst Fears fit the deck theme perfectly, but they're both costly, Mindslaver 's a huge hate target, and, worst of all, one-offs. They don't win me the game most of the time. However, Sorin Markov has the potential for the same ability and a much more useful ability in the -3, which is why he's in the mainboard and the other 2 are stuck in the maybeboard.

Oh lol...I didn't see the maybeboard before commenting. I guess you're right. There are easy ways to recurse Mindslaver or Worst Fears but it would take away from the deck I guess. Another card that could fit is Beguiler of Wills It is a bit expensive in mana but you do get to steal things every turn which is nice.

@GoldGhost012: That is exactly what it is about, and I can assure you that it is definitely worth the watch. Only two parts are about so far, but the third part is scheduled to come out in the fall. I imagine it'll be subbed by December or January, much like part 2.

Somehow I don't think Lelouch would view living with CC eternally as a punishment.

Misfortune , I'm thinking of watching it, for this guy if nothing else :

Damn, meant to tag you Misfortune.

Hawkeye437, Beguiler of Wills is another card that looks good with the theme, but is less than good. I don't generally get a lot of creatures out, and a 1/1 for 5 is very fragile, especially with an ability that's subpar since, again, I don't usually drop/take a lot of creatures unless I cast Rise of the Dark Realms or Insurrection .

ever consider Unspeakable Symbol ?

Actually no. I never knew that card existed, but it's a definite include. Thanks!

If you notice during the last episode, when Zero-Suzaku is running up to assassinate Lelouch he jumps on top of Jeremiah, who then smiles and says to "go forth", the only reason why he would just sit there and let Suzaku go and "kill" Lelouch is if he knew he wouldn't actually die (keep in mind Jeremiah practically worships Lelouch). I believe that when Charles died (or whatever happened to him) Lelouch received his Code. The reason he didn't lose his Geass was because he got that from C.C. so he was able to have both of them, hence the name Code Geass. Another thing to consider is that the show's called R2, R.R. Japanese pronounce their L's as R's, so that would be L.L. Lelouch's initials.

I have two things to say.

1. Unspeakable Symbol . You know why.

2. Interesting direction to take Marchesa, Mine focuses more on undying and unleash since I use Prossh, Skyraider of Kher as my thief commander.

@Wolfninja "the only reason why he would just sit there and let Suzaku go and "kill" Lelouch is if he knew he wouldn't actually die"

Or Lelouch has confided in him his plan to unite the world in hating and killing him, and he respects Lelouch's wish to die for the greater good. Him being steadfastly loyal and whatnot doesn't necessarily mean he can't accept that Lelouch wants and needs to die...

I'm just playing devil's advocate here though. I've always liked the "Lelouch lives" theory better.

It's in the maybeboard just waiting for me to not be lazy and put it in Ohthenoises.

Grixis gains me permanent control in blue, temporary control in red, and removal in black. Perfect for this, though I do see the value of a sac outlet that keeps coming back.

I agree with sonnet666's explanation Wolfninja. :)

how about word of seizing as it is the same as mark of mutiny minus the life but has split second so you can end stack shenanigans or prevent people from countering you.

This deck has no synergy with Marchesa, the Black Rose

blobbert, I'm not sure if there's anything I'd rather take out for Word of Seizing , even with Split Second. It's a little expensive.

Stamina , the deck's synergy with Marchesa is Marchesa, and the yet-to-come-out-of-the-maybeboard Unspeakable Symbol . Marchesa makes her own synergy.

What about Misdirection ?

In a sense you "Steal" their spell target.

I'm building the same general myself, but modified differently than yours. I'm going more aggro than control; Already made that deck with Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge . Didn't care much for you anime listings, but the deck sounds fun to play. I'll give that a +1 vote for yeah. Dragon Blood & Amok might be a good suggestion for you. If you want you can check out my list and see anything intrigues you. Good luck!

I have added Mimic Vat and it ties in really well to the theme of the deck and it also works great with stealing creatures with ETB effects

Wow, I'm pretty terrible at responding.

I'll try to find places for Misdirection . I feel that Dragon Blood and Amok take too much from the theme of the deck since the focus isn't on Marchesa and Unspeakable Symbol synergizes better. I'll take a closer look at Mimic Vat .

This deck has been up for 5 months, and in that time, no one has thought to suggest a Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth? I'm a little disappointed.

GoldGhost012, I praise you for this deck. I am a HUGE fan of Code Geass, and have never seen a deck so able to perfectly mimic the flavor of the show. Hats off to you, sir!

However, I must ask you something: WHY IS THERE NO Sol Ring?!?! Lol, jk. This deck is too cool for Sol Ring. I've been thinking about making a Code Geass deck with the commander being Tasigur, the Golden Fang, since he's similar to Lelouch in many ways, but now I'm wondering if maybe it should be Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest, considering he sacrificed his life to save his clan in MTG lore. What do you think?

Heh, thanks FanaticOfKiora! O tried really hard for this, haha.

Too cool for Sol Ring indeed. B)

I'd definitely go with Tasigur. If anything, I romanticize Lelouch in this to be more heroic than he actually is, haha. He's definitely a lot more of a dick. Besides, Tasigur I think is stronger in EDH anyway, and his colors are a lot better I think too for a deck that might be similar to this.

Thx, man!
