Deck Challenge: Prison Break

Hello again fellow deck builders! Today my challenge to you all is this: Design an anti-prison deck.

Specifically, design a deck that can "prison break" this --> http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=181580

Best of luck to you all! :D

You linked the deck edit page, and not the deck list. When I click on the link I get just a white page that says "This is not your deck to edit."

I'm still new to this concept but it just came to me... why not escape prison by imprisoning your opponent first?

Well here is my deck:

I basically stop the opponent from drawing cards so that he can not imprison me.

My new Legacy deck:

Grayscale Painter

Should keep the Prison deck off balance, and then combo off by turn 3-5 on average, with the opponent having hardly anything of significance on the board. (NB: Grayscale Painter is my new competitive Legacy deck idea, it is not meant to be specifically targetting your deck, but your deck seems like a decent Legacy lockdown deck :D)

First off, holy wall of text batman! (not this post, your deck). This one is definitely the leader so far in possibly being able to "break out".

This isn't my deck actually. I asked my friend if I could post his deck and he agreed. So what you see is his deck, not mine. And yeah, it's the best Prison deck I've ever played against.

Yeah, I kinda went OTT with the text, ah well. This deck won't so much as "break out" as "prevent the prison from being built"! :p

Do you realize that a deck has to be at least 60 cards? Good luck finding someone that will play with you using a deck with only 54...

This was a really fun challenge; you had me scratching my head for a long time! In the end, I figured that a burn deck would be best-equipped for breaking out of Alcatraz. I've explained my reasoning in the deck description.
