Tenets of Sligh
Thou shall never suffer an Elf to live.
Start the game with a threat.
Gain control of the board.
Keep up the pressure.
If you're blocking you're losing.
End the game by burning them out.

The Sligh deck is an odd looking deck that utilizes many
scoffed at cards - for good reason usually - but is illustrative of
how a well designed mono-color deck can get by with slightly
substandard cards by utilizing its color?s strengths (and a
good sideboard).
Sligh, orignally called "Geeba", was the brainchild of perhaps the best deckbuilder in magic's histroy, Jay "Geeba" Schneider.Sligh was originally created by Jay, to solve the problem of the overly powerful Draw-Go deck in it's early years.Most of you are probably saying, if it was created by Jay why is it called Sligh? Well, as Jay himself has said, he and his wife were to be on vacation at the time he was supposed to play the deck at an Atlanta PTQ, so he gave the deck to Paul Sligh. Sligh was named after the person that played it not the person that made it.
