The idea of the deck is to give your opponents incentive to attack via monarch or other bonuses while you stay mostly clear of the struggle thanks to rattlesnake cards and some pillowfort. Use removal to keep the board in check and play politics to keep opponents aimed at each other. Then use damage reflection or blowout spells to win.

Inspired by "Queen Marchesa Rattlesnakes" by Rshizz.
