This deck is meant to be a 5 or more player political deck. It's design is to keep attacks away for the majority of the game while building up. If you attack me you get stung basically. If I get knocked down I have cards like Elixir of Immortality to prop myself back up. Mostly you advocate that you can help various people in combat using The Scorpion God's ability and other such abilities. The finish is to swing in for lethal with poison counters when the field is thinned, usually by using combos with Dictate of Erebos to clear. I chose not to include many tutors since the deck should be able to draw enough cards. If that isn't going well I did add Razaketh, the Foulblooded as a fail safe. I did try and keep to some kind of budget although it did still get exceeded. Let me know what you think!
