Deck Description

This is very close to a deck that a friend of mine came up with a few months ago. With M15 and ideas of my own I tweaked a thing or two. I feel like it can handle quite a bit and he didn't lose with it at our local gamestore when he had it built. Other than that it's a lot of fun though. :)

How to Play

There are a few options here. You can disassemble your opponents hand with thoughtseize, and if they have a commonly used deck you can completely wipe out their best cards with Slaughter Games. This deck is really good against Esper and Azorius Control decks. Against monster decks Master of Cruelties is even more of a win condition. Draw the game out and use up their resources to win. Every once in a while it can manage a speed win though. It all depends on the match up.

Rogue passage is a good Idea. Just not gotten around to adding it yet. :)
