"Toughness is Not Needed" a deck by LordZailen

Welcome to the Deck Tech for Toughness is Not Needed. The basics of this deck is pumping the attack of your creatures for a beat down and hopefully killing your opponents quickly. This deck is not competitive what so ever. It is meant for fun and is something thrown together with an idea I had after drafting . Hopefully playing with with your friend group can get a few laughs out!#Deck Power Level: 6/10

The Creature Base

The Infector's

One of this deck's win cons is Infect Damage. Getting in unblockable infect creatures can put a target on your face but hopefully these little guys can kill them before that happens. The infect creatures ran in the deck are: Blighted Agent, Plague Myr, and Phyrexian Digester. Although there is only a few we have ways of making more with Clone, Cackling Counterpart, & Sakashima's Student. Although we don't have a ton, we should hopefully have our opponents on the edge of their seat as our equipments can pump them.

Harassment

These creatures are the ones that will annoy your friends as you keep doing stuff to them as well as getting in damage. One of my favourites is Thalakos Deceiver. A 1/1, that with Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive and it's own Shadow cannot be blocked, isn't that great UNLESS you can gain control of a bigger creatures?! This is exactly why I added this card, it is a great exchange in my opinion. The other good harassment is Raven Guild Master. Who knew that an "Aggro" deck could become mill so quick!? That's right with this 1/1 you can make your opponent's Mill the top ten card of their library. Obviously not that huge with a 100 card deck but you can get rid of resources as well as negating the one person who cherishes their Sensei's Divining Top. Finally the last big harassment is Riptide Pilferer. Discarding is big especially if you see a player hanging onto one card they've had for a bit. This is just annoying when you have to keep discarding over and over due to one creature.

Draw Time!

This deck is also Mono-Blue so guess what? Draw time! We have lots of ways to draw our ways out/into situations. And, a lot of these are printed right on our little booty friends.Some include: Daring Saboteur, Neurok Commando, Surrakar Spellblade, and Tandem Lookout.

Equipments for the Weak

Being that we do not want our creature's toughness over 1, we need to Only pump their power or give them other abilities.Some of the fun equipments are the ones with the EXTRA pumping abilities. Fireshrieker is one that can give the guys "double" their power while keeping their toughness at 1. The other big one is Trepanation Blade. In short, this card mills defending player until they reveal a land; Then your little guy gets +1/+0 for each card milled into that opponents graveyard. Now think of attaching this to one of your Infect guys and having your opponent mill EXACTLY 9 cards. K.O.

This deck almost always wants its General out on the Battlefield so your creatures cannot be blocked and getting all your fun effects off. That's why I chose Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive over Thassa, God of the Sea. Umezawa can give more than one creature unblockable for free while Thassa can only do one for . Thassa is still in the deck just for the Scry as well as if we can't cast out general for some reason. But hopefully that doesn't happen. With Umezawa only costing us she can be cast for cheap unless your opponents waste all their removal on her. Hopefully you like the deck, if so do not forget to +1 Upvote it if you want more funny decks with funny effects!
