Deck Description

This is the current EDH deck that I use. I know that I'm missing a few cards, such as Beast Within and Sensei's Divining Top, that I'll try to pick up when I find them or have the cash and the willingness to buy them.

If there are any suggestions for changes on a reasonable and highly economic budget, please feel free to suggest.

This deck is a Stax deck for a pseudo-control or lockdown until I have my Mikaeus +Triskelion combo to win the game.

If you noticed the bizarre spread of basic lands, it is because one person at the shop I usually go to plays extraplanar lens with regular forests, another with regular swamps, and a third with snow-covered swamps. Though, I'm pretty sure they all will eventually switch to snow-covered lands for all of their basics.

How to Play

Multiplayer:
When I play this deck in a multiplayer game, I sit back and wait patiently. I try to ramp as much as I can, but I don't try to make myself a threat until I have a tutor mana to cast what I tutor into. Once my opponents see that I have a tutor or a combo piece, they all turn against me.

1v1:
I try to stay alive. That's it. This deck is incredibly slow, and anything I do to prolong the game is usually in my favour. I try to focus on a war of attrition; as long as my card advantage exceeds my opponent's, I should be in fair shape.

Two-Headed Giant:
Depending on the person I'm playing with, what I do changes dramatically. Usually, I just play like I would in 1v1, but with more attention to card advantage than staying alive, since I have a buddy and Stax will still give the overall team more card advantage as opposed to the opponent (unless one of my opponents is also in Green and Black).

Deck discussion for [EDH] Glissa Won't Betray You

Deathreap Ritual can draw an insane amount of cards in multi-player games without tying up a land like Underworld Connections.

Triangle of War can function as another targeted recurring removal like Executioner's Capsule.

I'll try Deathreap Ritual. I've tested triangle of war, also, but have grown to like it less. It doesn't do anything for me if I have only glissa on my side of the table, which happens to be often enough, especially with all of the Oloro players at my shop.
