I kind of like this card. Can anyone think of a way to make this a viable win condition? Possibly a pillowfort or prison deck of some kind?

Don't forget proliferate.

EOT Steady Progress. I win during my upkeep.

So perhaps a deck like Grand Arbiter Augustin IV with Contagion Engine as acceleration?

I have to imagine a lot of hard work to get a Filibuster win. Unless your group would let you play Giant Fan.

Solitary Confinement + Rhystic Study/Mystic Remora seems like it would fit very nicely into this deck

Just go all in. I mean, you're obviously going to be painting a target on yourself, so why not play all the "I win" cards:

Go Bant colors:

• Barren Glory
  
• Darksteel Reactor
  
• Epic Struggle
  
• Felidar Sovereign
  
• Helix Pinnacle
  
• Laboratory Maniac
  
• Near-Death Experience
  
• Test of Endurance
  

Might as well throw these in too:

• Luminarch Ascension
  
• Propaganda
  
• Sphere of Safety
  
• Ghostly Prison
  
• Maze of Ith
  
• Kor Haven
  

Sounds like a lame deck LOL.

Don't forget Blazing Archon so no creatures can go through.

Something like Ensnaring Bridge should be helpful too.

Silent Arbiter/Dueling Grounds can prevent token swarms as well.

Ivory Mask or Leyline of Sanctity would probably be necessary to deal with burn effects (although there aren't so many in EDH) if you've locked out combat. Meekstone and Arena of the Ancients play well with the ideas above, I think.

Clockspinning would make the timeline to win much shorter.

This is what I call a Lighthouse Chronologist type of card. Seems innocuous, but if you happen to get it on the table in a game where no one is doing much of anything, it gets scary very quickly.

That said, I think Lighthouse Chronologist does the same job, but faster and with less of an initial commitment. (Though perhaps with not as much flavor).

Unlike with Luminarch Ascension, these guys only get one counter per time around the board rather than one each opponent's turn that you didn't take damage. Add onto that the fact that opponents can remove the counters--even multiple counters in a single attack--and I think that makes these guys fall well outside the realm of "playable" in multiplayer.

I'd like to mention that while I've personally found nothing wrong with pillowfort decks, those who finish with this specific card get bonus points.

nice if you can fit in Blessings of Nature.

Proliferate! Doubling season! And turbo fog!!!

Also multiple turns, pillow fort, and something?...

No one said it was effective. But this is EDH! Do it so that people have to remember the shame of being filibustered out of a game!

Bant pillowfort (Angus Mackenzie!) with counter shenanigans like Doubling Season and Gilder Bairn could make it work. I'd love to have 3 counters on him, drop Gilder Bairn, greaves him up and super-proliferate FTW.

Mentioned already but Clockspinning is dopey good as well. Memory Crystal with that flat out wins you the game with 4UUUU once you get your first Filibuster counter. God that is so janky

Bubble Matrix stops all direct damage, like Blasphemous Act and such. Should help him live longer, although you'll probably want Darksteel Plate and such to deal with wraths.

Ensnaring Bridge should keep you from being attacked most of the time.

Inexorable Tide can get you several counters at once. Proliferate in general seems helpful.

Haha that's the idea! : D

Portcullis stops other creatures from coming into play indefinitely.

Me. But I play casual.

Just slap a Pariah on a Stuffy Doll, Predator Ooze or even a Darksteel Myr.

In one of the Feature Matches at the Pro, there was a player who had two of them in his draft deck. He actually missed a trigger that would have won him the game--but he won anyway on the following turn when BOTH of them hit 5 counters (technically, the first one on the stack doesn't get the counter since the game is over by the time it resolves).
