The idea here is to force opponents to kill each other off, leaving one opponent who will be easy to finish off.

Lot of cards that force opponents to attack while you manipulate combat by killing off blockers, redirecting blockers, buffing an attacker (primarily Xantcha) or increasing damage dealt and simultaneously making yourself a difficult target for opponents to go after.

Also threw in plenty of group punishment to prevent opponents from gaining life while they beat each other to death and draining more life from them for playing their hands. Also put in a few things to force opponents to discard so they have to use Xantcha's ability more.

To add insult to injury I have a few cards here that will allow me to take cards from other players to be used against them or to just simply exile them (Etali, Stolen Strategy, Grenzo, Dead Man's Chest). I may take these out in favor of cards to further protect or bring back Xantcha (Demonic vigor, Undying Evil, etc.) if they don't play out well.
