Aikido/pillowfort/politics! This deck is one of my babies. Constantly updated here to reflect my paper list. Redirect attacks and attention until we're the only ones left. Can also win with big direct damage in a few different ways. All possible fetches in here now for Verrak. Sideboard are certain cards that were in the list for years but are taking a break. Maybe is a mix of old cards and considering - any of these are fine to swap in on preference.
