Goad and combat control

Finishers: Disrupt Decorum Spectacular Showdown

Weaknesses: poor ramp No single target removal (Fractured Identity doesn't really count) weak creatures limited card draw

Victory condition: Force a player to kill another player (must be forced)

To do: Add a few wraths (Play of the Game and Promise of Loyalty are great) More creatures that can defend and attack make sure color balancing is ok land base reasonable to avoid color screw? More Combat tricks? (mainly to use on other people's creatures)

V1.1 - Perplexing Chimera: slows game too much + Siren's Call
