Just a really mean deck that my friends wont let me play.

Concept is pretty simple - play vendilion clique (preferably at the end of your opponent's turn, this way clique does not have summoning sickness), then protect clique with counter spells and bounce spells. Flying blockers and permanents your opponent's control that may target clique are of particular concern. Don't let those resolve or stay on the field. If you can't counter them, bounce them. Lock down your opponent, buff up clique with equipment, swing and win with commander damage. The primary weakness of this deck is that it is not particularly effective in multiplayer. It is easy to lock down a single player. But 2 or 3? Not so much.

SIDEBOARD: Dissipation field and aetherspouts are for dealing with token decks. Eldrazis are meant to be played via polymorph. Boseiju and cavern of souls are for playing against other decks with counter spells. Also maze of ith never hurt.

COMBOS: Clique or jace + tunnel vision is an easy win combo. Mill their entire deck. Oopsie.

Good luck, have fun. As long as you are ok with ripping your heart out and setting your soul on fire this is a great deck to build.
