Give your opponents the illusion of choice: decide between bad and worse options.

I know that "punisher" cards (cards which give your opponents a choice, like Browbeat) are generally inferior to alternatives, but they're really fun, and don't see much play. So I aimed to build a deck centered upon the use of punisher cards. Its jank and not competitive, but this deck is more of a concept deck than a deck meant to see actual play.

I welcom suggestions that facilitate the greater use of these cards
