Slant the vote in your favor! Use your influence to avoid scandal and embarrassment! Bribe the opposing forces, copy their strategies and silence the opposition! As worthless Supporters flock to your side. sacrifice them at the altar of the electoral gods! Do whatever it takes, win the Presidency!
Hilary Clinton, Candidate is a powerful Esper token creator and gains additional votes. She makes White Supporter tokens until she flips into her planeswalker side. Her ultimate is similar to Mirrorweave, which should be game ending with all of her White Supporter tokens in full force. Hillary also employs unique clones to copy the opponent or her token makers. Hillary has plenty of removal spells like Crib Swap and Hero’s Downfall to answer Trump’s walls. Her deck also features some of her cohorts in Ghost Council of Orzhova and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. Now lets see Trump’s deck.
IN THIS CORNER,THE COMBOVER CONMAN, MR. DONALD J TRUMP!
Victory is all that matters as you construct tremendous walls to keep the opposition at bay! Defend your homeland! Overcome the adversity of the hands you were dealt! Amass an army to evict all rivals and deliver on promises of a better tomorrow! Make the battlefield great again!
Candidate Trump is a Wall lord. He grants Walls the ability to return creatures to their home and can tutor for more walls.Trump’s drawback is very detrimental though, the Trump player may have a hard time winning with a tiny hand. Once Trump has built up enough walls, he transforms into President Trump. President Trump can recruit more walls and draw cards based on how large the walls are. His emblem makes the walls come alive and crash down on the opponent. Despite his walls, Trump has some sweepers in Merciless Eviction and Rout. Patriarch’s Bidding can put you back into the game if your walls get swept away. Gild and Mortify headline the wealth of answers. The games seem to drag on with Trump and for that reason, the deck has a few big splashy spells to cast; Debt to the Deathless and Fall of the Titans tend to end things. Lets battle!
These are our two combatants. In one corner, we have the Esper Lady of Doom, Hillary Clinton, with her ranks of Supporters against the Mardu Real Estate Mogul Donald J. Trump. Who will win???
Battle Report
Staying true to form Trump opened with an early Land Tax ensuring real estate wouldn’t be an issue while facing down Hillary’s early pressure. Disappointingly for Hillary she was only able to muster a rather passive Pupeteer by the end of her third turn. Reaching for the opportunity, Trump focused on developing his infrastructure, adding a Coldsteel Heart, and Steel Wall, which looked to tilt the field until Hillary entered the contest herself. She was followed by three supporters, all of whom gleemed with the thoughts of bringing the assault to Trump next turn. Trump, unfettered by the line Hillary of supporters, showed a No Mercy from hand, cracking a closed lip smile as if tempting the supporters to a succumb demise of their own construction. Having no care for Trump’s haughty grimace Hillary took to action, rallying two addition supporters, igniting that spark you only see in a candidate from time to time. Enter Hillary Unbound….
Her supporters rallied, and cheered as victory seemed to be, at this point, a forgone conclusion. They did not anticipate the resolve of their advisory. His ability to disregard what seemed so obvious, and to uselessly persevere in the face of certain defeat. This drew out the middle game. Trump, turn after turn after turn, trying to gain a foothold on the battlefield. Hillary answering, each attempt with decisiveness, but as time went on answers began to dry up. The flames of Hillary’s campaign would not be satiated, and those supporters, once jubilant, now began to realize their fate.
It was the noble, albeit unwilling, sacrifice by her supporters that let Hillary position herself for a potential victory. The board now held a few additional walls for Trump, as well an Aurafication, to provide further incentive for the remaining Hillary supporters to remain out of the red zone. Then Hillary unleashed a Sire of Stagnation, it hideous and contorted appearance dwarfed even the grand nature of Trump’s walls. Her attention focused on the sire’s summoning left a window for Trump to finally land himself on the battlefield. Over the next few turns he quickly assembled enough walls, revealing himself as the predestined victory of the campaign.
Hillary, unphased by the prophetic revelation, unleashed her ultimate sending her back to the command zone and, morphing her supporters into copies of Sire of Stagnation. The assault crippled the Trump team. Standing atop what survived of his great walls, he petitioned the fates, if he was destined, now was the time it would show.
The fates answered with a Merciless Eviction, and all the remained on the battlefield was Trump, and his Coldsteel Heart. Trump scrambled to reconstruct his walls, garnering more loyalty in the process. Hillary raced back to the field, drawing in enough support to immediately reassume her previous form. Once again using her supporters to refill her hand she added threats to the board with Increasing Devotion and Nomad’s Assembly. Trump had rebuilt his fortification beyond that seen before, and the loyalty he achieved was enough. Next turn he would be able to send forth his walls to strike down once and for all the unrelenting Hillary. She was against the ropes, she had to act but would the cards be there? Hilary drew Greed for her turn and she played it and paid life to draw cards with no relief. Her Greed would be her downfall as Trump’s army of Walls would tumble down on her and claim victoy.
Trump Wins!
