Modified "Swell the Host" preconstructed deck which borrows some ideas form Tolarian West Academy's video: Deck video list here

Still sorting out a win condition, the video touches upon a devastating soft-lock of Kaseto, Orochi Archmage + Nature's Will As the Kaseto, can easily allow just one creature slither though to each opponent for massive lockdowns. So that is maybe somewhere to start.

Personal Goals for the deck

• Interactive, am thinking along the lines of counterspells and small mount of removal. Am avoiding infinite combos as it ruins the thrill of each game.

• Political, I want to avoid being the target from the get go, while still be able to build up to be a force that can have an impact to the game. I would like to have the option of ending the game if the game becomes too damaging to the social aspect of the playgroup.

• Fun, deck is to be both enjoyable to play or face. EDH is meant to be an social game, not cutthroat win by turn 2!

Looking to expand/add to the deck

• Card Draw, ideally 3-5 "One-shot" instant or sorcery cards.

• Counterspells, as it is a very important part of political game play, looking for a handful of them to add. Currently cards like Voidslime and/or Syncopate are what I am looking for; see considering for more.
