---

The concept for this deck is building an outright thievery deck using only stolen/borrowed/donated cards (eventually, I'll allow using cards I already own in the beginning then focus on upgrading to borrowed). It should be pretty straightforward in playstyle - red "borrow a permanent" spells + sacrifice outlets & black reanimate spells to interfere with opponents' board states. Use the sac outlets for synergistic value - aristocrat/life drain, cards, treasure tokens, etc. Round out the deck wherever possible with miscellaneous powerful effects, plenty of removal, and some utility.

At first this list will simply be a working wishlist to build from, as the deck will likely never be fully optimized due to the nature of being a deck for beggars & thieves. Later I may come back & actually adjust the list to what it is. The good news is most of what we're asking for is bulk or bulk-adjacent. To incentivize people to give or lend, I'm willing to write "borrowed/stolen from (person/store/business name)" on the card itself, an advertisement of sorts. It will likely start out as extremely low power, then perhaps grow from there. The endgame is to also have it living in a borrowed/stolen deck box, using borrowed/stolen sleeves, and using borrowed/stolen/doodled tokens wherever possible. If you have ideas please send them to me at @beardeskeptic on Twitter/X, BlueSky, or Instagram.
