What are Politics decks in Magic?

• Council's Judgment
• Humble Defector
• Breena, the Demagogue

Politics decks influence opponents through deals, incentives, voting, shared resources, and carefully directed threats. They're primarily a multiplayer strategy, where convincing somebody else to solve a problem can be more efficient than spending your own cards.

Kenrith, the Returned King can offer favors to nearly anyone, while Pendant of Prosperity gives another player a useful permanent that continues benefiting you. Political decks reward reading the table as much as reading the cards.
