I wanted to make a deck that is truly evocative of the Saw franchise, and since The Lord of Pain is our top down version of Jigsaw I wanted to build a sweet punisher burn deck that also is actually good, this seems like it would be super fun for archenemy allowing you to actually play the villain very well. A theme of this deck is giving your opponents choice. I tried too select the best cards in this theme, if you have a suggestion feel free to comment. I don't know if I'll build this deck in paper as I already have a lot of decks using these cards but spread out over multiple decks so to fit this into my already large lineup of decks would be a bigger undertaking then posting my list, but hopefully I inspire some other terrible person.

Cheers and enjoy the salt GarbageGamer38
