I'm building a Diaochan, Artful Beauty deck, and I want to win by being super political. I need more cards like her and Humble Defector, even Goblin Game. I want to make people make hard decisions. Definitely NOT looking for chaos cards. Thanks!
Mono-red is difficult to politic with, saucy though diaochan may be. Every time I look at her I wish so bad they hadn't put that stupid timing nerf on all the p3k cards. ugh.
Mostly I'd be looking at instant-speed cards and abilities that cause big problems for people. With red you don't have a lot of "carrots" so you have to use a lot of "sticks".
If you play Humble Defector, make sure you combo him with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker for hilariousness. If you use KJ to make a token and then pass that token to another player using it's draw ability; then when you have to sac it at end of turn; it wont sacrifice because you can't sacrifice a card you don't control. You can just slowly flood the board with Humble Defector tokens.
As for specifically Daiochan decks, you want shroud, indestructible, and protect red abilities. You NEED shroud vs Hexproof because are still controlling her ability so Hexproof doesn't work

I'll throw kazuul, tyrant of the cliffs in as a passively politicalish card. There's also all manner of goblin diplomats-type cards that can really screw someone up.

Too bad that there isn't a mass goad spell. It would likely be UR if it did exist.
Cheers!
