I was thinking how I could use Opal-Eye when it hit me. He's the ONLY Legendary Creature in existance with defender!
But how do you win when your creatures can't attack? Ok, there are a few cards that let them, but that's too risky in a 99 card highlander deck. So, alternate wins! And what's the most defensive alternate win? Life gain
I know this won't save me from General damage, but the idea is to not let that happen Build a fortress around your lifetotal and win!
Needs more combo/lockdown hate. Combo decks could care less about your lifetotal; they'll get you one way or another and prison decks will lock you down and beat you on their own terms.
As someone who ran Darksteel Reactor combo in Mirrodin Standard, allow me to say Magnus, that you need stuff to back it up. It just can't happen on it's own(one Boomerang/Into the Roil/Echoing Truth will have you crying). Coretapper, as well as Power Conduit(to move counters from other stuff to the Reactor) and if your group allows it, Giant Fan from the Unglued set to supplement the Power Conduit. Ideally, you'd want Dismantle for that, but it's R so yeah...<_<.
Hope this helps Magnus, and keep up the good work.

Thanks for the support I took out the Reactor. You're right, it's not a win condition if you can't make it stick
Reckon the Yojimbo could make it as a flagbearer? Coalition Flag could be fun, especially if he's got a counter and is sitting around indestructible eating all the death magic out there.
And players don't get burned any more.
Konda probably lives in a Castle with his trusty Yojimbo, and it seems it would help all your guys nicely ... it's not like the're attacking.
Maybe even a Fortified Area?
If you're looking for hilariously awful old school defensive flavour, there's nothing can beat the Elder Land Wurm.
He might only be 1 cheaper than Akroma, but he's clearly better.
Slagwurm Armor: nice find, but I don't think it's good enough That Which Was Taken: that's sooo going in Too bad the divinity counters don't work when TWWT isn't on the battlefield. Coalition Flag: nice! We'll find a place for that one Castle: since my Walls won't tap, nice...I'll try to squeeze it in. Fortified Area: is already in! Elder Land Wurm: kicked it out in early development

Rule of Law, Glowrider, Sphere of Resistance, Thorn of Amethyst, and Ethersworn Canonist can make fantastic combo hosers for mono W and don't have to be lockdown pieces if you don't build that way. If you don't play against any combo or lockdown players (AKA all casual), then feel free to ignore me.

I cube, I play EDH, and I can't afford Legacy. The other formats can suck it.

Steel Sabotage'ng Orbs of Mellowness since 2011.
Possible, but DSC is too aggressive for this deck and Elspeth too expensive. Now I know I put in a Moat, but that was just TOO good to not put it in
Oooh, VERY good idea! I like! Most of them don't get in the way of creatures, which is fine because my creatures can take a punch. Thanks!!
Thanks for the support
