Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is a group hug deck looking to maximize card draw from our commander, Mangara the Diplomat. \n\nSince Mangara wants to see opponents cast 2 spells a turn, I've slotted in ways of giving opponents extra mana, like Helm of Awakening and Victory Chimes, and extra cards, like The howling Mine/Golem and the Truce cards. Omen Machine and Knowledge Pool are great ways to force opponents to cast 2 spells a turn, giving us that sweet, sweet draw. \n\nSince Mangara wants to be attacked by 2 creatures, I've done quite a few things. One is giving opponents expendable creatures to attack with, with Genesis Chamber and Alliance in Arms. I've also put in lots of incentives to hit me, like Monarch cards, Angel's Trumpet, and Coveted Jewel. \n\nTo keep my life total healthy, I have packed a lot of protection and the Soul Sister Suite. \n\nPolitics is how one plays this deck. Give Wedding Ring to the opponent who agrees to attack you, now you're both drawing cards! Point Secret Rendevous at the opponent willing to play the cards. Offer to block with Howling Golem and Flumph if someone attacks you. \n\nFinally, my removal package is all based on effects that give something in return for taking away: a clue, a card, life, or a token. Generous Gift is the perfect example. \n"}]}
