All Cops, all bastards. This is a mono-white, law-themed control-tax-ish pillow fort deck, so flavor takes precedence over strict improvements. Nevertheless, you'll never see me putting Riot Gear in here. Sideboard includes "vote" cards for many-player commander games.

Suggestions on what could make this more effective within the theme are greatly appreciated. It's mostly centered around making the game inconvenient for your opponent through tax and control until it can break them with soldiers. Having Darien out with Court Street Denizen, Mentor of the Meek, or Soul's Attendent / Soul Warden makes opponents really, REALLY not want to deal damage to you.

Often it goes into Voltron-ing Darien. First time I played this deck I had the above combo going while Darien was like an industructable 13/13 Flyer with Double Strike, Vigilance, and Lifelink.

This deck can be annoying to run versus another pillow fort decks, but it's great in huge commander games. Everybody wants the cops on their side.
