This deck is designed for those multiplayer games that are so aggressive, so hostile that they liken themselves to a game of global thermonuclear war.

And as you might well know, the only winning move in a game of global thermonuclear war is not to play.

That's what this deck does. Specifically, it sets up conditions that last until the start of its next turn- such as Chronomantic Escape and Detain, protects itself by making the player Hexproof- and then skips as many consecutive turns as possible.

On average this deck skips between two and six turns, though outliers of up to fifteen turns skipped are possible. There's some tech in place to harm opponents just through their normal course of play- but very gradually. Memory erosion, hive mind, and even unifying theory all contribute to encouraging other players to burn through their decks faster- while Brago sits like an island on a sea of time, impervious to attack and resistant to direct damage or instant lose the game style effects.

When he finally returns from his vacation, usually one or two other players are dead, and the remaining enemy player is running on the clock.

This deck doesn't necessarily win- it doesn't have to. All it needs to do is get the combo off once, and it will seriously make the night. Every player I've encountered who has seen this deck has, initially been wary because Brago has a bad reputation- but really enjoyed what the deck does as being unique and actually quite interesting.

I'm still making tweaks and suggestions are welcome, but keep in mind that the goal here is to skip as many turns as possible while the defensive shields like Chronomantic Escape, Lavinia's Detain, and the like are up.

If anyone knows any other good 'until start of your next turn' effects in these colours, I'll definitely look at working them in.
