Hello everyone!

This is my Gisela, Blade of Goldnight Pillow Fort EDH deck. It is specifically made to be a multiplayer deck.

Like I said its a pillow fort deck, not a stax deck. The goal is to set up enchantments and creatures to protect yourself from other player (Such as Blazing Archon and Ghostly Prison, but NOT to stop your opponents from doing stuff (Such as Loxodon Gatekeeper). The point of that is to take the heat off me in a multiplayer format. To let them attack each other and wear each other down until the last one is standing. Then roll in with cards like Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Baneslayer Angel and finish them off.

So here is my list:

Strategy:
Like I said before the goal of this deck is to create a situation where you spend your time protecting yourself and being political, then go in for the kill. You start by ramping up and playing your protection. Try and keep the heat off you as much as possible, and use your destruction if things get out of hand.

Then once things come to the end and you are left with one guy, all bets are off. No need to be political. Just kick his already weakened butt.

Why Gisela?
Because Gisela is awesome! That why! On top of that she give the opponents reason to attack each other and not you. Which is ultimately the goal of the whole thing. Even when it gets down to 1v1 The opponent will still only be doing half damage if he is doing anything at all.

This is one of my first completed edh decks, so please any help is very much wanted! Anything I can do to make it better please feel free to let me know!

Thanks guys! Smile
