Gahiji is one of my newest creations, it's a token deck with strong political elements. It tries to fly under the radar by giving tokens to other players while at the same time discouraging them to attack you (done mainly with rattlesnake effects. In my playgroup pillowfort effects like Windborn Muse tend to just paint a target on your head)

Main finishers are big pump spells likeTitanic Ultimatum, Kamahl, Fist of Krosa and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight

or

stealing back all the creatures you've given out with Mob Rule and Insurrection

This is a fun deck because you need to control your own threat level and the threat level of others. It's important to sniff out how others assess threats and why they target people.

Currently on the chopping block:

Insurrection it's a bit boring as a win condition, pay 8, win the game yawn
