The idea of the deck is to lock down the board to make it difficult for our opponents to progress their game plan with out paying a heavy cost. A slew of enchantments and planeswalkers give you abilities that add incremental value through out the game a grind your way to a dominant board presence that can make it very difficult to surmount. It can take a while to get the engine turning so the early game is basically removal spells like Smallpox and Never//Return that give us the time we need to get our mana accelerators on line, and use our general erobos god of the dead to draw into our threats. Resembling Skeleton with Bontu the Glorified help us set up those draws and offset the life loss from our aggressive life usage. There are a decent number of sweet interactions available in the deck and it can be quite fun to play. Any comments or suggestions are welcome and encouraged.
