Description: This is a fairly toolboxy wall deck, getting out assorted allies and retainers, with Howler minding the fort. A few years ago, Andreas Nusser clued me in to the power of Form of Corruption for keeping your prey in check if you're a slowly developing deck, and it works to great effect here, and the Neighborhood Watch Commanders can really take their toll. Over the course of the tournament at Origins, I managed to steal Arika twice!
