Deck Description

Death by shuffling.

How to Play

First off, this deck won't work. It will take far too long to assemble the pieces of the engine. But if it does...

The plan is to instantly and infinitely ovanize your opponents creatures with Ovinomancer and then immediately steal them with Preacher. To do this, you will need a lot of pieces to your combo. But hey, this is Commander - Anything can happen! Here's how it works:

Aluren, Torpor Orb, Intruder Alarm, Ovinomancer, and Preacher.

With Aluren out, you can play Ovinomancer for free and at instant speed. Torpor Orb negates his triggered ability and Intruder Alarm untaps Preacher every time Ovinomancer comes into play. Your Preacher will convert the sheep to see things your way.

The question is, what do you do with all these sheep? Sacrifice them, of course. This will be death by a thousand paper cuts. Hopefully, not literally. You will do in the opponent by making them shuffle their deck. You'll need Ashnod's Altar, Lantern of Insight, Psychogenic Probe and Salvaging Station.

With Psychogenic Probe on the battlefield, sacrifice the Lantern of Insight. Use your Salvaging Station to return the Lantern to your hand. Sacrifice your sheep to Ashnod's Altar and untap the Salvaging Station. With your two new mana, recast the Lantern and repeat. You'll net an extra mana each time. There are a variety of ways to spend it at the Trading Post. Most notably is making a goat, which will help speed up the process. Aphetto Alchemist and Intruder Alarm will let the post untap with every new goat.

Casting artificial Evolution on your Reaper king will let him shift his focus from scarecrows to goats. Every new goat you make with your trading post will destroy something that needs destroying.

This may be painfully slow, but you have a lot of enchantments to protect yourself and slow your opponents down and the threat of creatures attacking should be replaced by a flock of sheep.

Win by making your opponent shuffle, Maze's End or an army of pumped up goats.

Ah. I didn't read Goatnapper very closely. I thought he tapped to steal. That ruins everything. Back to the drawing board.
