This deck is built around using the resources that your opponents have against them. We use goad mechanics in the command zone The Rani, as well as in the 99 Bloodthirsty Blade, Agitator Ant, Sly Instigator, etc. to start wearing down our opponents. We make use of donate effects Hunted Horror, Nettling Nuisance, Varchild, Betrayer of Kjeldor, and sleeper agents, Xantcha, Sleeper Agent, Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos, Vislor Turlough to even out the battlefield so no opponent gets wiped out too fast. We don't want to be down to 1 v 1 until everyone else's health pool is low. We can also rearrange the creature distribution with swap effects like Djinn of Infinite Deceits and bounce effects like Erratic Portal can be used to reset control of sleeper agents and defensively if an opponent gets careless with their mana. We get repeated value from Revel in Riches, Sangromancer, Magda, the Hoardmaster, Raven of Fell Omens, Morbid Opportunist, and Willbreaker to keep the deck going if the game runs long.
