Don't forget to upvote and leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you!

Leovold, Emissary of Trest aims to play to win and play alone.

Windfall effects and control form the basis of the deck, with a few high-cost win cons that you'll hopefully slow down the board enough to get live.

Maybe Board is full of cards that I don't currently own but plan to get into Leovold in short order. I will be updating the deck to include cards with value and hopefully a few win cons that act as mana synchs.

Anvil of Bogardan + Leovold, Emissary of Trest renders opponents unable to draw, instead drawing 1 and discarding 1 during their draw phase before the ability resolves.

So far, the deck is undefeated due to how oppressive it can get. Future updates will include better lands and tutors (including transmute cards) to make sure the game is locked down by turn 3-4 with Anvil of Bogardan and at least one windfall effect.
