Saved commander deck
Grand Arbiter Augustin IV
Lock opponent resources completely using extreme stax pieces like Winter Orb, Static Orb, and Rule of Law while discounting your own control spells. Win through non-Thoracle hard locks like Knowledge Pool or infinite damage with Heliod and Walking Ballista.
Prompt: i want the sweatiest least fun to play against deck that is not based around thoracle or underworld breach wins
