Politics are very important for this strategy. I'd highly recommend Null Chamber , as I see it as the pinnacle of alliances, turning off two players' commanders whilst teaming up with another. Debt of Loyalty is also fun, as well as Tragic Arrogance . For what you're trying to do, Mystic Barrier seems to be the best of options. Solitary Confinement and Worship are good for staying around, too. Peacekeeper is also hated and helpful.

Good luck with pillow fort.

Oh, also Master Warcraft seems all too fitting.

Thanks for the suggestions bro, I'll keep them in mind but the goal of the deck was to have everyone else kill each other while deterring them from attacking me, so the cards that prevent all attacks and make alliances im not too sold on. I have run Tragic Arrogance before and it was a lot of fun, however I became the archenemy after it happens so I cut it so I wouldn't get as much aggression. The deck is supposed to wait until the others are dead and then take the win from the weakened players. Would love to see your marchesa list though! I bet you could come up with a sick pillow fort pile! have a good one!

Thank you! I don't have a Marchesa list, but all of my decks have many ways to stay alive. Even my Naya lands-matters deck runs Peacekeeper . xD

I guess Norn's Annex ?

March 24, 2019 7:34 p.m.

LOL! I literally considered Norn's Annex when I was testing, but I opted out because it really only costs them two life for each, and I don't really have much room right now. The deck is kind of packed, so I can't put in many more different things. However, yeah, we are on the same page with that one.

I give up. Ggwp xD

Then the best thing I have for you is No Mercy . Fits the theme of dissuading attacks.

March 25, 2019 11:12 a.m.

Lol. I know I said I was looking for more suggestions, and No Mercy is awesome!!! I didn't know that card existed and that's really cool. It's gonna be a headache to decide what to take out, but I like the idea of having stuff attack me then die, because it did. I already have Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts but this is a fine new addition to the deck, thanks and have a good one :D

Teysa reminded me of the card. Was working on a Chainer deck over a year ago for it. xD Glad I could help!

Here's a fun one: Aurification ?

March 27, 2019 1:43 a.m.

That's really cool I might try that. That's one of the coolest cards I've ever seen.

Maybe you could take out Go for the Throat ? It seems narrow.

HappyCat123: how is "nonartifact" narrow? a pretty significant portion of creatures are not artifacts.

March 29, 2019 4:04 a.m.

Idoneity says... #15

Not what I meant. I mean that cards like Bedevil and Mortify hit more than just creature, and Swords to Plowshares Exiles while being more aggressively costed. Go for the Throat just seems lacking when compared, as well as when there's just better removal options like Vindicate (sorcery-speed, but hits everything).

March 30, 2019 1:53 a.m.

Idoneity says... #16

Also, you already run a lot of removal. Not that it's a bad thing, but it's something to Westchester out for. Ten kill spells, four wraths, as well as other ways to get rid of creatures like Dictate of Erebos . That's a lot of death.

HappyCat123: you should probably tag people when responding to them.

March 30, 2019 1:56 a.m.

Idoneity says... #18

Can't figure out how. xD

HappyCat123 its explained in the comment tutorial. just put the persons username in double square brackets, the exact same way you've been linking card names.

March 30, 2019 2:12 a.m.

Yeah, this deck is a lot of taxes AND death. I like instant speed, because I wont kill creatures unless they are immediate threat, or they attack me. I wont kill it before it is either of those. vindicate is nice and all, however the only problem creature that go for the throat really doesn't hit is Blightsteel Colossus and anything hexproof/indestructible. but you can't hit those anyway so...

Then may I suggest Crib Swap over Go for the Throat ? Also, I run Arcane Lighthouse in a few of my decks and it tends to just completely wreck some decks.

March 30, 2019 2:49 a.m.

Idoneity says... #22

Unmake is good, too.

March 30, 2019 2:51 a.m.

Crib Swap was a consideration of mine, and if I were to put in 1 kill spell, that would be it. I need colors, so Arcane Lighthouse is a no-go. Unmake is a little color restrictive as well, but still good. I may run it but again, Crib Swap is on a whole new level.

Fair enough.
