Fairy taxes.

2022/04/14

I guess I should add some more details about this deck since the description has been lacking.

As you can see, this is not the first version of the deck. The first version focussed mainly of Stax and locking down my opponents while grinding out value. That play style while viable, led to longer and less fun games (from the perspective of my playgroup). That having been identified, I shifted the deck towards a tax deck where my opponents were more than welcome to not pay their taxes, the price of which being that I draw cards/ramp with a side of pillow fort and various anthem effects. Because of this the deck seems innocuous at first, but quickly breaks parity and can win games. The evasion stapled onto the faerie tokens combined with any of the anthems can easily put you in lethal range while maintaining a pillow fort. Also, best way to end a game either by winning or not is to cast Coat of Arms followed by a Mirrormade copying said CoA.

Enjoy!
