A red/black/white deck based around temporarily taking control of enemy creatures. There are many sorceries similar to Act of Treason, which the deck is named after. In ideal situations, this deck can sacrifice these controlled creatures for benefits, such as Fling or Brion Stoutarm. In multiplayer games, Bazaar Trader can make things interesting by permanently giving away a creature under my control.

The deck has a lot of miscellaneous cards that I like to see in any context, such as Baleful Force and Magmatic Force. Even if they don't fit the idea of treason very well, they make a big impact if they remain alive. Giving creatures that can deal noncombat damage deathtouch is an efficient way of removing creatures. I don't want the enemies to have very many creatures. This deck whittles away the field, which gives Zurgo Helmsmasher a chance to smash helms.
