The crownless again shall be king

This deck was built because of my love of prison decks. When Baird, Steward of Argive was spoiled, it seemed like he was literally designed for me.

I put a lot of stax and prison effects in, some pillowfort cards, and then since Baird is a soldier I used Darien, King of Kjeldor's edhrec page to fill in the cracks with some soldier tribal stuff. I had to get pretty creative with the mana ramp and card draw, but overall I'm really happy with this deck.
