MTG Salvation

Hey folks,

So this deck started out as a joke on Facebook. Chatting with a mate we realised that Trump could be pretty easily represented in an EDH deck, especially with his now infamous quote of building walls. I brought this idea up at my local game store and people seemed enthused, suggestions were flying around and we all had a good time thinking about the possibilities.

Well I wanted to cememnt a list a little more than that. Further, I like to try and give back to my community. So I had the idea of building a Trump deck and commissioning some alt. artworks with the idea of auctioning if off at the end of the year to raise money for the Movember Foundation, a charitable organisation that supports Men's health like depression. After all, Donald Trump makes me depressed so what better association to raise funds for depression research and support.

The thing is, if I'm going to go to all of this effort, then I would like the list to be a bit more refined than just looking through my collection and pulling stuff together. Hence coming here, for ideas. After all, just like real life, the Trump deck should be competitive... but not too competitive

TLDR: Building a Deck parodying Trump for charity, would appreciate both competitive and thematic input

So here is my list:



I know the manabase would look a lot better with Fetches and Shocks but budget is a limitation until I *hopefully* find a sponsor to assist on this charity project.

The biggest challenge is balancing theme with functionality. Obviously there is no point in having highly thematic cards if the deck doesn't work. Here are some of the short-listed cards / recent adjustments to give you an idea of this thought process...



So please, any thoughts or obscure cards that can assist. Any help would be much appreciated. It is easy to find parody names of magic cards for Donald Trump but much more challenging to find cards that functionally allow a wall deck to be competitive.

Thanks folks.

Unfortunately this does not look like the type of deck that could fit Invoke Prejudice

Embargo might be able to work though.

You have to run Piracy. It's the only way to make them pay for it.

I would suggest more exile effects.

I just thought of Crackdown and Revoke Existence. They're both highly thematic and on point competitively.

Too much flavor to pass up: Exile

Mana Drain - to make them pay for it.

..

I think you're right. Exile does fit into this build philosophy pretty snugly.

I wish I could afford a Mana Drain, or even the UU in this manabase. Instead I recent thought of another thematic way to make them pay for it: Oblivion Sower.

Apt, yes?
