MtgGoldfish's take on Triskaidekaphobia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv1Bx...

It's Friday the 13th, so it's time for a Triskaidekaphobia deck tech! This deck focuses on an Allies theme, pairing Triskaidekaphobia with other cards that do lots of incremental damage, either during our upkeep (Drana's Emissary, Triski), whenever an Ally hits the field (Kalastria Healer), whenever a creature dies (Zulaport Cutthroats), or whenever we gain life (Cliffhave Vampire). If we can't manage to kill our opponent with Triskaidekaphobia, it just becomes an enchantment that sits on the battlefield and deals guaranteed damage every turn until they hit 0. We've got multiple ways of winning, whether it's Triski, inremental drain over a long period, big drains by sac'ing creatures to Husk with Zulaport Cutthroat on the battlefield, swinging in with a huge Husk, the Cliffhaven + Essence Depleter combo, or just attacking for damage with our 28 creatures. The deck can play offensively or defensively depending on the situation, and the longer the game goes, the better our chances of winning. Of course, sometimes the game doesn't go very long - we can win sometimes win on turn 5 via Triskaidekaphobia. Just be careful - your own Phobia can kill you if you don't manage your life total properly (this never **actually** happened in testing, but I should point out that it can happen).
