Hi all!
So this is my first, mostly untested attempt at building a deck I'e been looking at for a while. It was inspired a while ago when I saw the card Ashenmoor Liege and thought, hey, how could I force my opponent to target it? After a perfunctory Gatherer search, I came up with precisely one: Erhnam Djinn. (I later found more.) Searching for cards to give it away, I found Assault Suit, which seemed to perfectly complete the group (and which I have now realized doesn't work, but I've found more.) So... here's my first attempts at decks.
Basically, it revolves around three types of cards: repeated targetters (ie Erhnam Djinn, Martial Law) plus a target-trigger creature (ie Ashenmoor Liege) plus a Donate effect. I've got a midrange Jund one and a very rough, more controlling Jeskai one.
Note: Yes, these will never be competitive as long as they're built around this idea. That said I'd love to see how cool we can make 'em.
These are, of course, incredibly rough lists. Mostly I'm looking for all the help I can get: figuring out how many tutors I might need, which parts are important and which non-essential, etc. Any and all help/criticism is very, very much appreciated!

That's adorable. A similar idea that might be easier to execute (and hopefully as entertaining to you as this one is) would be Ernham Djinn and Sheltering Ancient + Willbreaker andHorobi, Death's Wail

Doesn't work, sorry =(. My understanding is that you want Assault Suit to donate the Djinn to your opponent and then have the djinn trigger while its under their control. The issue is that the Djinn isn't under the opponent's control at the beginning of their upkeep. They only get it after the assault suit trigger resolves. The donate setup is cool though!

Yeah, I realized right around when I posted that the Suit doesn't work. Very disappointing, as it seemed perfect. At the moment, I'm using Custody Battle as a much worse version in the Jund deck.
