ABOUT THE DECK

This is a typical GAAIV CEDH deck. I have been playing it for some time now and I find that it is a blast to play... but not so fun to play against.

Your goal: Lock all of your opponent's out early game and then control the game until you get one of your win cons.

Stax pieces: Grand Arbiter Augustin IV, Winter Orb, Static Orb, Stasis, Sunder, Ravages of War, Armageddon, Smothering Tithe, Rhystic Study, And Sphere of Resistance

Win cons: Straight up concession, Pili-Pala + Grand Architect, Painter's Servant + Grindstone, Rest in Peace + Helm of Obedience, Thespian's Stage + Dark Depths, And Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal
