Kess Borrow Creatures

This deck is about borrowing (stealing) creatures until end of turn.
This is more of a silly/political build and isn't meant to be oppressive or scary. It's very tempting to run a bunch of sacrifice effects, but this isn't what this deck is about. If you display a desire to simply "borrow" things, and that you'll return them, you usually don't get targetted as much. It's rather easy to make a steal deck that people hate; this deck tries to avoid that.
