Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Deck Submission for the Archidekt Deckbuilding Contest for January 2025.\n\nSo you, an elder dragon, are tired of paying taxes to stick around. I mean, what's a gigantic, incredibly powerful ancient spawn of the Ur-Dragon to do in the face of... the IRS? Why, Fake Your Own Death, of course! Using this one handy trick, you can avoid paying the 3 mana to stay around, and even get some sweet benefits whenever you die and come back! Whether it's a funeral or whatever the reverse of a funeral is, it's always a party when you're around! Just make sure you invite the fun folks, like the damage dealers and the card draw specialists, and you'll have a swell time, and the government will be none the wiser. (Full disclosure, please don't actually fake your death, unless you really are a primordial being of immense power, in which case you do you boo-boo.)\n"}]}
