I wanted to make a deck that would dominate all other decks and strategies. I wanted to be able to beat them down or bind them into submission. That’s when I discovered Selvala, the Indominatrix Rex.

https://i.imgur.com/xVneyeS.jpg I cannot get this to display, so here is a link to a beautiful picture I made.

Shes a hybrid creature, with built in ramp, card draw and life gain. Staying true to the real Indominus Rex, the deck is unnatural, a blend of many powerful things, and cost a fortune to make but it was made for your attraction *"There are no dinosaurs in this deck". In a multiplayer game her parley ability gives me a green dark ritual, some extra life, a card and intelligence on your opponent’s decks… and opponents get an extra card. The deck is fast and designed to win turn 4-6, you can even win turns 1-3, although less likely. There are multiple ways to victory.

Getting to Win, the ways to establish dominance

Overpower

By power you will assert your dominance. There are plenty of big creatures. You also have many cards that can pump your creatures to be even more enormous and powerful.

Bondage

You don't always need to overpower them to get someone to submit. You can bind them down instead. Cards with "can't" and counter" and other oppressive instruments. Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger, Void Winnower, Iona, Shield of Emeria, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and Kozilek, the Great Distortion. Attach Helm of the Host to Iona, Shield of Emeria for extreme bondage. You can almost prevent your opponents from playing.

Protection

You have to use protection if you are playing with multiple people. You are giving players cards with Selvala in exchange for cards, mana and life. They have to reveal the cards so use that to your advantage. You will need to protect yourself because with those extra cards your opponents with have answers. Dragonlord Dromoka and Dosan the Falling Leaf will protect you on your turn. Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Shalai, Voice of Plenty will help protect you on all turns.

Climax

Reach the pinnacle of your power. Primal Surge, Genesis Wave, Tooth and Nail, and sometimes Selvala's Stampede. This can quickly turn into overkill. Usually after I play Primal Surge everybody forfeits. You should win off of these cards. If your group allows the Spawnsire of Ulamog ultimate in it's fullness or a wishboard, its explosive as long as you have other Eldrazi (I have 200+ in waiting outside the game). Bane of Progress can hurt you so there is some risk to the climax method. If you don't like the risk remove them from the deck and add in some other beaters or utility

From the Dungeon

Toys to assist you in your work

• Aetherflux Reservoir You’ll gain plenty of life in this deck and can easily enough hit somebody for 50
• Paradox Engine This is the best card in the deck. If you can protect your turn it’s almost an automatic win with the way the deck is setup and Selvala’s Parley ability
• Staff of Domination Sets up your infinite combos
• Mana Reflection Double the Mana, Double the Domination
• Sensei's Divining Top Pairs with with Selvala. Always reveal a nonland permanant
• Tutors with Captain Sisay and Survival of the Fittest Get what you need to win
• Mishra's Helix to ensure that two islands of your opponents are tapped.
• Helm of the Host Multiple your legendary creatures. Imagine getting hit with three Ulamogs for 12 Annihilator or having an Craterhoof enter the battlefield every combat or five Iona's for each color.
