A deck that forces your opponent to unwillingly tap their creatures to multiple control spells, only to have them remorselessly destroyed by Royal Assassin. While this is happening there is also Gideon's Avenger who is gradually growing stronger due to the forced tapping.

Combo's and Uses of Cards:

- Gideon's Lawkeeper + Gideon's Avenger

-Royal Assassin (the deck's foundation)+ Gideon's Lawkeeper ; Midnight Charm ; Stabbing Pain

- Mark of Asylum : Amazing protection if cast in the early stages of a game

-Lightning Greaves: Great in order to protect a Royal Assassin that has been played

-Doom Blade: 'simple yet elegant' removal. Also Go for the Throat in the sideboard in case of playing against black

-The two main threats in this deck are Deathbringer Liege and Gideon's Avenger . Gideon's Avenger if cast early-mid game can be an extremely large asset to me yet a huge issue for my opponent. The same for Deathbringer Liege however he is more of a finishing blow in the event that the game isn't going as planned

-Another, more minor, threat: Vectis Dominator proves to be a very pressing card, forcing your opponent to tap and potentially lose a creature, or lose two life

-Vampire Nighthawk is just a nice addition to the deck to put some pressure on the opponent also

-Moving onto the sideboard, Duress or Inquisition of Kozilek+Surgical Extraction can be a pain in the ass. It permits me to search their hand for a possible combo card and discard it. Then, using Surgical Extraction I can rid their deck of that combo card completely, destroying it's synergy completely

-Lastly I am using 4x Faith's Shield in order to stall and protect my useful creatures until I can pull out a Mark of Asylum or Lightning Greaves.

Please leave comments and +1's as they are much appreciated; Thanks!
