My attempt to make Ben-Ben, Akki Hermit not suck! This deck operates as a Pillowfort deck by walking a fine line between setting yourself up as a dangerous target for attacks while also incentivizing opponents to attack you at later stages of the game. The main way the deck works out this strategy is by utilizing basic pingers as well as powerful damage-multiplying enchantments, building up Ben-Ben's ability to cause death to attacking creatures as well as direct damage to opponents.
