"Feints within Feints within Feints" -F. Herbert

Idea is slightly based of Q. Marchesa Akido [https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/queen-marchesa-politics-aikido-and-control/] with a twist.

Plan is to build a strong castle (pillow fort strategy), and setup some pain engines. Assassin creatures with deathtouch like the Queen Marchesa Tokens or Kelsien, the Plague. and ping creatures with small amounts of damage to wipe the board. Then once enemies have been brought low swing in with built up Kelsien or Master of Cruelties to wipe them out.

Plenty of passive control when needed with pie breaking counterspells that can come in out of no where. But I dont want to be obtrusive otherwise I may paint a target on my back.
