Waving the red flag by SamuraiShamu

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The Rani leads a political control deck that forces opponents to eliminate each other through relentless combat redirection. The Rani places Mark of the Rani tokens on opposing threats, buffing and goading them while generating Clue tokens whenever they strike other players. Mass goad effects like Kardur, Doomscourge and Disrupt Decorum keep enemy boards attacking elsewhere, preserving your life total. As opponents whittle down their health and boards, you accumulate massive artifact advantage from Clues. You close out the game by animating your Clue hoard with Cyberdrive Awakener or Tangletrove Kelp, or by using unblockable commander damage to finish the final opponent.
