Hello everyone as the may have guessed from the title of the deck this one is all about holding the game and all parts hostage or having all my opponents make choices that they may not all like. I would like to ask for help on this deck. If you see anything that I should change let me know. I'm not 100% set on the land I took and I just put in some cheap ones that I could think of. I decided to try out Marchesa, the Black Rose as the commander but if you think one of the others would work out better in these colors let me know what you think.
