Intro

This is a prison-y control-y kind of deck, but the fair kind! The Wandering Emperor is an excellent warden because she is either powerful removal (exile at instant speed!) or a 2/2 vigilant token generator. The opponent plays permanents, which we then destroy or exile. Rinse and repeat until opponent has had enough and concedes or we overrun them with tokens.

Win conditions

With 8 wraths and a bunch of spot removal, we are well-equipped to handle most creature decks. We also match up pretty well with other control decks because we can generate threats and be proactive better than most control decks.

How we win:

• Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
• Realm-Cloaked Giant
• Creature lands like Crawling Barrens, Faceless Haven, and Cave of the Frost Dragon
• Tokens generated by our commander, Ugin, the Ineffable, Castle Ardenvale, Karn, Scion of Urza, The Book of Exalted Deeds, Starnheim Unleashed, Emeria's Call, and Dawn of Hope
• Key to the Archive can also draft win conditions like Approach of the Second Sun

* There is a combo with Faceless Haven and The Book of Exalted Deeds making it so you can't lose the game. Could be sweet, but you'll have to dodge Field of Ruin.

* I purposefully left out some feelsbad cards that would be quite good like Rest in Peace, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, Approach of the Second Sun, Serra's Emissary, Overwhelming Splendor and Fall of the Thran.
