Nin will torture you for a long time till you die. Don't bother her, or you will suffer more.

This should be a control based deck.

This is a list of the cards in the deck and what they were intended for (some cards can be in more then 1 category):

The mana boosters for the big spells and a lot of card draw or damage with Nin:

  • Basalt Monolith, Grim Monolith
  • Coalition Relic, Darksteel Ingot, Everflowing Chalice, Gilded Lotus, Sol Ring, Thran Dynamo
  • Total: 8

    The deathtouch equipments for Nin to kill creatures:
  • Basilisk Collar, Gorgon Flail, Quietus Spike
  • Total: 3

    Other equipments useful with Nin:
  • Neko-Te : Taps away for a long time.
  • Darksteel Plate: Self-trageting for card draw (can be combined other creatures for good effects - listed later)
  • Total: 2

    Equipments to protect Nin:
  • Champion's Helm: Gives hexproof but can only protect legendary creatures.
  • Darksteel Plate: protection from destroyers
  • Mask of Avacyn : Makes equiped creature stronger but the hexproof costs mana.
  • Swiftfoot Boots: hexproof + haste
  • Lightning Greaves: shroud + haste
  • Neurok Stealthsuit: shroud + instant equip
  • Total: 6

    Protection from other players:
  • Portcullis: stops creatures from entering the battlefield and I can take control of those left on the board with my control spells. This way I have less on the board to deal with.
  • Crawlspace: Less things to deal with.
  • Silent Arbiter: Better crawlspace.
  • Cyclonic Rift: Buy time.
  • Devastation Tide: Back to normal.
  • Maze of Ith: Keeps things away from me.
  • Mystifying Maze: Keeps things away from me.
  • War Tax : Safety for mana
  • Dissipation Field: Punishes players that attack me.
  • Propaganda: Keeps things off me.
  • Collective Restraint : Second Propaganda.
  • Arcane Laboratory: Less spells --> less to deal with
  • Fatespinner : Slows opponents down and focuses their kill spells on her and not on the other creatures under my control.
  • Total: 15

    Damage dealer:

  • Viseling : living Black Vise
  • Iron Maiden: Another Black Vise
  • Skullcage : Similar to Black Vise but functions for low-card hands too.

  • Soul Barrier : unnerving pinger
  • Kumano, Master Yamabushi : direct damage to creatures, or players + killed creatures are removed
  • Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind: constant direct damage
  • Psychosis Crawler: Constant damage.
  • Total: 14

    Card drawers:
  • Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius : Big card draw + direct damage

  • Total: 2

    I was finally able to make a list of everything I've got here.
    My first attempt of a list was eaten by the Mogg Maniac.
    That's why I needed so long for a complete list.
    It's quite a lot but now I think I will be able to reduce the ammount.
    I can't wait to be able to walk in here again and to sleep without a Iron Maiden poking me in the back while a Gilded Drake tries to sit on my legs.

    Speaking of things that are not where they should be.... I just notived that I used the Quietus Spike as a quill! Now I know where it is! But if this is the Quietus Spike where is my quill now?
