Deck designed to win without damage. Rules are: -No attacking Players. Planeswalkers are fair game; too difficult otherwise. -You can only deal damage by blocking - no life loss, no ability damage.

Within those confines, I feel like this deck does okay. Didnt throw it in casual because while it may not be competitive, id like to know if it's as bad as I think it is.

TLDR The deck stalls for time and card draw to put out engines like Planar Gate and Reya Dawnbringer, then drops a win con within one turn of victory via Planar Gate. Tutors like Weathered Wayfarer, Sidisi, and Planar Gate fetch components. Recursion from Sheoldred, Reya, Sun Titan and Ravos keep important cards on the field, doing their job. Stalls like Ensnaring Bridge and Kami of False Hope buy you desperately needed time by keeping opponents from hitting you for game.

HELP: Requesting advice that would let me keep following the rules listed above while improving the deck's ability to stall out faster decks. Any advice welcome! Up to this point ive been running a somewhat similar Athreos deck, and while I like the red additions tricolor has always been hard for me. Synergies List:

Sheoldred, Whispering One + Reya Dawnbringer + Hell's Caretaker + Demon of Dark Schemes + Pia Nalaar + Kami of False Hope Guilded Lotus + Pristine Talisman + Orzhov Signet + Sol Ring + Chromatic Lantern + Planar Gate + Paradox Engine
