Velvet Veil

Charm enemy minions into fighting for you, and take what you want now at the price of the next blow landing harder.

How it plays

You win using the opponent's own minions. The cheap ones you take permanently, the better ones you borrow for a turn, and with your most expensive card you borrow their entire board at once. In between you drain life to stay ahead. It is the most expensive deck in the game, so the early turns are spent surviving until the cards that steal things arrive.

Strengths
Winning with the opponent's own creatures, borrowed for a turn or taken outright, while draining them keeps you alive long enough to do it.
Weaknesses
The most expensive deck in the game, with no defenders and nothing that destroys a creature. Fast or crowded boards beat it before it comes online.
