My paper Politics/Aikidō-Deck, because killing a player with another player is fun!

The Plan

Here lies the problem.... This deck doesn't really have a plan - you try to sit there and appear to be as harmless as possible.

Just try to hit a turn 3 Marchesa, then..... draw cards, play pillow fort pieces, make allies and then betray them.

Wincons

Where to start.... Mindslaver/Worst Fears/Emrakul,the Promised End and Insurrection are more or less obvious, you just need the timing.

Sorin Markov is basicly:"Target player loses the game"

Master Warcraft, Fumiko the Lowblood, Disrupt Decorum and War's Toll can force people to attack into each other, since most of the time every other player is a greater target than you.

Commander damage - Sunforger makes Marchesa a 3 turn clock (2 if you use Boros Charm and equip again)

Also it's possible to control the whole board with Sunforger/Thornbite Staff

You want to play this deck if you...

... like to play a more controlling deck, that isn't blue.

... like interaction in games.

... like to sit back and watch people suffer.

You DON'T want to play this deck if you...

... think Mindslaver effects are unfun.

... hate pillow fort cards/control decks.

... want your friends to have fun.

Funfacts

This deck is driving someone in my playgroup crazy and we still have arguments :D

The crown usually never leaves my head - for many reasons.
