A Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker stax deck. Designed to play absolutely miserable games of magic. Running Contamination and smokestacks together with all the recursion... what this deck does is horrible. Thoughtpicker Witch is also a monster in the deck as it allows me to dig out answers for my stax pieces that I want to keep. The deck usually wins by casting a big ol Torment of Hailfire, or by just making other players scoop. But win or lose, you can at least insure no one is having fun.

Other cards that rub salt in the wounds are Ashen-Skin Zubera and Burglar Rats, as it is pretty easy to make people top deck the whole game with them out. And Dictate of Erebos is the icing on the cake.
