Deck Description

It's not quick or devastating, but I still win 4 of every 5 games I play with this deck. Enjoy all the delicious creature control. Fair warning, your friends will hate you. FTW get swiftfoot on royal assassin turn 4, then enjoy their suffering. All for under $20.

How to Play

Ideal start: Turn 1, typhoid rats (to fend off any heavy initial onslaught). 2, Swiftfoot boots. 3, Puppet Strings. 4, Royal assassin, then equip it with swiftfoot. Whenever a creature of theirs becomes tapped, kill it. This means you can kill attacking creatures before they deal damage.

Don't have royal out yet? Use puppet strings with nettling imp to tap creatures during main phase 1, then force them to attack. With a clear board, you may pick away, or get out liliana's shade and hit them with huge blows.
