---

Just throwing a deck at the wall after finding a combo to lock opponents out of the game. Pretty rough but the combo is Maralen of the Mornsong and Stranglehold This makes it so that each turn, instead of drawing, all your opponents lose 3 life and then get nothing, because Maralen replaces their draws with searching their libraries, which Stranglehold prevents. With this lock in place, they'll basically have to rely on what is already in their hands or on the board, creating a pretty brutal lock if left in place. It also invalidates tutors for your opponents, as well as extra turns. The reason I went with grixis over Rakdos is a few reasons. First: Blue provides some super useful tools in tutors and counterspells, which are big in managing to actually get the lock into place. Second: No Rakdos commanders really work within the confines of a relatively fast acting control deck. Jeleva herself is cheap and her ability to cast cards without paying mana costs is crucial to drawing out counters and keeping pace.
