Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"***DISCLAIMER*** This is "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"not"},{"insert":" designed to be cEDH, but it is designed to win. While a more efficient deck would still run circles on it, it is running combos and cards designed to win fast; but there are still some less than optimal card choices. ***END DISCLAIMER***\n\nA control deck designed"},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":" not to take forever. "},{"insert":"There are infinite combo loops ready to go, and your control magic is a stall tactic until you find them. Go forth and become Archenemy! They still can't touch you. Remember, an opponent salty-conceding is still a quick victory.\n\nThere are a few easily identifiable things players hate: the pillow-fort player gaining life while remaining untouchable; the control player have readily available counter spells; and stax, itself. So, while you're controlling the battlefield, you're also controlling your opponent's emotions. If you asked Sun Tzu, you've already all but won.\n\nDon't feel bad (if you thought you might), this is a deck you pull out when you've salty lost one too many times to a \"7,\" or you haven't played a game yet and you want to set the tone of the evening: Long games are for the dead. When I say this is a fast control deck, I'm not saying it's mono-red fast; I'm comparing it to other control decks. When you have the win, take the win and shuffle up again, or grab another deck. It's that easy.\n\nP.s.: Proxies are free/ practically free.\n"}]}
