Giving gas to my opponents while simultaneously making sure its best only for me was an awesome way for me to stay out of the crosshairs while still managing to build a board state. \n\nCreating and maintaining the feeling of a free-for-all slug-fest is the goal i wanted, i wanted players to feel like nobody was winning and nobody was quite losing either. \n\n--------------------------\n\nThe Commander:::\n\nLagamos was chosen for 2 reasons, even though he doesn't really fit with the general play-style of the deck, he keeps me looking small. having an early 3 toughness blocker and a 2 power token generator with a built-in tutor felt too good to pass up.\n\nCards like Skullclamp and infiltration lens were worked in with Lagamos's token in mind. \n\nAnything over 3 mana was out of consideration for the deck because i wanted my commander to be something that created a measure of consistency with the deck giving me all at once a blocker, an attacker, and a situational tutor in the command zone at a low mana cost.\n\n---------------------------\n\nThe Cost:::\n\nThe cost of this deck is heavily influenced by the artwork I've chosen to display here on archidekt and cards i already had in my collection. \n\nOverall this deck is meant to be reasonably budget friendly. \n\nCards like Teferis puzzlebox and Font of Mythos were already in my collection and not taken into account while building around cost.
