This deck uses multiple enchantments and creatures to put up walls between you and your opponent. Once the walls are built you can use those same enchantments to help beef up your creatures to win the game. You can also use Captain Sisay to tutor for all the big game enders.
HOW THE DECK WORKS:
Turn 1 - Lay a land, preferably a Razorverge Thicket and play a Mother of Runes.
Turn 2 - Lay Inviolability on Mother of Runes. She now prevents damage and can protect herself with her tap ability from anything that may try to remove it or destroy her.
Turn 3 - Lay a Pariah on Mother of Runes. Now any damage you take is redirected to Mother of Runes and prevented by Inviolability. With all of those and her tap ability to protect her the only way to really get rid of her now is with a board wipe and board wipes on Turn 3 are rare.
Turn 4 - At this point you can just play your game, you know they cant damage you so it doesn't matter how fast their deck is. You can lay Sterling Grove and protect yourself further or just lay another creature like Linvala, Keeper of Silence, or Captain Sisay and go to work.
TUTORS ARE KEY:
If you don't get Inviolability or Pariah in your opening hand you can always tutor for them with Sterling Grove, Open the Armory, or Enlightened Tutor. As long as you have one of the enchantments you can tutor for the other. You can also tutor for creatures with Worldly Tutor, and Captain Sisay. Captain Sisay can tutor for pretty much anything as there are alot of legendary creatures, lands, and enchantments in the deck.
OTHER WAYS TO BECOME UNTOUCHABLE:
1. - Using Pariah with any indestructible creature or Phytohydra.
2. - Using Platinum Angel with Avacyn, Angel of Hope.
3. - Using Phyrexian Unlife with Melira, Sylvok Outcast.
CONDITIONAL WINS:
Cards that make a player lose the game or win the game are "conditional" cards that can get around the lockdowns in this deck by not really going against them. This is why Platinum Angel is in the deck. Use her to your advantage if you know you are facing someone that likes to play conditional wins.
WIN CONDITIONS:
Win condition 3 is by far my favorite way to win and is the only way to truly become untouchable. For Pariah's one weakness is loss of life, as it is not damage so pariah cannot redirect it. This does not matter with Phyrexian Unlife as you cannot lose the game for having 0 life. Partner that with Melira, Sylvok Outcast and now you cannot lose the game for having 0 life and you cannot get poison counters so even if they bring you to 0 you can still win the game.
Combined a Mother of Runes with a Pariah and Inviolability enchanted on her, in addition to a Phyrexian Unlife with a Melira, Sylvok Outcast on the board and you are set. Next lay a Avacyn, Angel of Hope (to prevent board wipes), a Privileged Position (to prevent Hope from being exiled) and a Platinum Angel (to prevent conditional wins) and you are literally untouchable.
With the setup I described above you literally cant be board wiped, delt damage, lose life, get poisoned, made to lose the game by a condition, or even be targeted by your opponents.
