Disclaimer

No germs were transmitted in the creation of this deck

Do you prioritize self-isolation and wish you had a deck that did the same? Well, wish no longer! Quarantine behind this wall deck and passively observe your opponents attempt to brave the new, disease-ridden world without you.

Maintain proper social distancing utilizing the CDC-approved, double-layered pillow fort stax effects: Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, and Ever-Watching Threshold. Your opponents will surely abide by the 6 foot rule.

Your mate sends you an invitation that says, "Come out, we never see you anymore"; to which you may respond "Yeah, and ya never will". Ignore invite and play Vow of Flight on their commander.

Maybe your enemy foolheartedly believes they've breached your bubble with some 12/12 stompy creature; they smugly request a firm, glove-free handshake as reward for such a flawless play. Cast Imprisoned in the Moon and promptly apply germ X - that was way too close. Be a good sport and suggest they do the same. Their humiliation is probably intense enough to weaken their immune system.

As each player departs the table wishing they'd worn a mask, you begin to contemplate what life was like outside your big, safe, pestilence-free walls; Should I come out of hiding to face my final enemy? No, dummy; Bubble Boy's plastic enclosure with leg holes is not practical in this scenario. Luckily, there are inexpensive walls such as Wall of Denial that, when played with Arcades, the Strategist, can be used to remove life-saving ventilators from the remaining opponents.

Definitely the most ridiculous deck I've ever built. Yes, this was built and play tested (online) while in self-isolation for two weeks.

Very casual. Very fun.

Basic Strategy

Pit everyone against each other. No need to be aggro, just stop someone from winning and act like you're a saint. Convince everyone that walls are not threatening. Hopefully, that's enough so you don't become a target until it's a 1v1 scenario. By then, you should have plenty of walls and card advantage. Use removal/enablers such as Generous Gift, Wave of Reckoning, or Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive for an open shot with all your creatures.
