Seeking Suggestions for Group Pillow Fort ( I.e. keep all players in MP game alive )
Deck Help forum

My goal is to make a deck with the purpose of keeping as many players alive in a multiplayer game as long as possible. I usually play with about 4-5 other people in group games.
Any cards are allowed unless it's extremely over power. I.e. casual. No infinite combos on turn two, no three turn everyone loses, etc.
Generally the first players to lose start about 4-7 turns in.
I have access to any card in the entire MTG library so no limit on that.
So far I've come up with the following idea's....
Abyssal Persecutor + Platinum Angel = Nobody can win, nobody can lose. (I think)
Another option is using Prototype Portal to copy Platinum Angel's and gifting them with Bazaar Trader or maybe Puca's Mischief to each player, but this will require a lot of fast mana.
Isochron Scepter with a bunch of Holy Day type cards could help keep other players alive while I get them safe....
I was figuring on putting in Ghostly Prison and Propaganda to protect myself....
So, any ideas on how I can pillow fort everyone?

You can go infinite with Stasis if you use Ral Zarek, Tidal Force or a few others I can't remember. I'd suggest Meishin, the Mind Cage to make all creatures useless. Silent Arbiter can control combat pretty well. Wall of Shards can help you raise other players' life totals.

Crawlspace is a really good card too, and never underestimate Humility + Night of Souls' Betrayal.
genericaura I really like your Stasis combos, I may consider one of those in my Oloro deck.

If you want to do this kind of deck, try Zedruu the Greathearted. He is pretty nice for game politics.

As fun as Zedruu can be, if you're going to do a deck like this it needs to be Esper, as those are the true control and combo colors. You get access to all good stuff. Check out my Oloro deck if you want to see how to shut the game down.

Shane.Allen Thanks, I looked them up awhile ago for a very sadistic friend of mine. I don't think he has a single "honest" deck. It's all Infect EDH or worse.

genericaura Ouch, that sounds like a rough friend to fight, Infect EDH is mean, I do like locking down the game state for awhile when needed :)

These will keep the game locked down and keep every one alive.
Humility + Embargo
Stasis = Vedalken Mastermind
