Hello! I am working on making a Trump's wall deck for a somewhat casual deck for my boy scout troop's casual modern tournament. At least, last I heard we were doing modern. I am looking for some advice on a Donald Trump d I have been working on to beat up this one kid who always plays super unfair creature based rouge decks that most budget decks cannot beat (I.E. a deck that copies 85million Primordial Hydra with Progenitor Mimic(And yes, I know that combo does not work, but the last time he used it on me I had NOOOOOO Idea it didn't). He is really hard to beat when you don't have gobs of money and you play modern casually. Seriously, I try to play infect, he has Melira, Sylvok Outcast. I play my budget affinity, he has shatterstorm. So I decided to build a wall, figuratively and Literally. The main idea for right now is play a bunch of cards like steel wall and Fortified Rampart to create a totally huge wall to keep this kids creatures out. To win, I am going to mill him out with Phenax, God of Deception. I need help picking good walls and creatures with defender that fit with the theme of Donald Trump. I want to be able to spout trump quotes the entire time we are playing and try to be as annoying as possible to get my revenge against this kid. So please, leave your suggestions for walls, creatures with defenders, and kill spells so that we can make America great again.
(P.S. we don't have like a real judge, so if any mechanics are misused (Such as the combo stated above), there is no one there to tell us that it's been misused other than ourselves).
(P.S.) we are also doing a flavor competition this time around and I want to win it sooo badly.
How much money are you willing to spend on this project and do you own any Modern staples? I have a Naya Walls brew that I think could suit you nicely.

if you want the most trump-like deck, i would continue to use infect because he is so toxic to this country, but i don't think that's the answer you are looking for.
assault formation? you can load your deck with yuge walls and attack for tremendous amounts of damage with something like wall of shards (shards being the splintering of the republican party, i could do this allll day).
This thread is okay so far, but avoid any inappropriate language, slurs, references, or other comments that would violate the forum rules. When in doubt, don't post something you think crosses the line, and report any problematic posts you notice.
I have decided to go with esper walls. While Abzan has Doran, the siege tower and Assault Formation, I feel that being the best jobs president Phenax, god of deception ever created seems the most on flavor. I'm making a beta decklist today to show off. Thanks!
You need a better back up win con than swinging with 2/2's. I'd say add in rolling Stones or wakestone gargoyle. I would also run walls with flying or abilty to block as though they did/reach. I had a fun idea of running green ramping walls like axebane guardian or the other one from zendikar into a primal surge which flipped into zendikar eldrazi and a fervor or something.
I really think it should be a Jeskai Build, Red White and Blue, duh, i know you want to go with the mill strategy but RWU is more flavor win for trump walls, doom blade could be replaced with lightning bolt, trump strikes down his foes, swap go for the throat with path to exile, removes foreign creatures from his land, as for the president, im not sure what would be good, deffinently something that allows dmg dealt based on toughness, but i really love the idea

UPDATE: Here is my first build: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/trumps-wall-1/

I will build a great, great wall... a Trump wall, a beautiful wall... made of hardened concrete and rebar and steel... the greatest wall you've ever seen... The Trump wall -- oh, won't that be a beautiful wall!
... the wall just got ten feet taller, believe me.
Carry on, and don't forget Assault Formation!
PS. Also, Spellskite, while not a Wall, gives you a competitive edge that will help you win lots of games. Synergizes with Formation/Doran too.
You can also throw in some fog effects in Esper colours like Darkness, Angelsong, Batwing Brume , Dawn Charm , Encircling Fissure , Holy Day , Kami of False Hope.
Cathedral Membrane, Sunweb, Fog Bank, Hover Barrier, Mnemonic Wall, Wall of Bone, Wall of Denial, Wall of Frost, Wall of Omens, Wall of Resurgence, Wall of Reverence are going to be your best Esper colour walls.
