Description

{"ops":[{"insert":{"card-link":"Oloro, Ageless Ascetic"}},{"insert":" serves as the foundation of this deck by providing consistent life gain from the command zone. The deck builds around this steady flow of life by incorporating pieces like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Soul Warden"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Soul's Attendant"}},{"insert":" to amplify the life gain. Once the life gain engine is established, the deck converts this advantage into victory through several paths. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Blood Artist"}},{"insert":" , "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cruel Celebrant"}},{"insert":" , and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose"}},{"insert":" create a drain effect, slowly whittling down opponents' life totals while you continue to gain life. The deck protects this strategy using defensive enchantments like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ghostly Prison"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Propaganda"}},{"insert":", while maintaining control through removal and counterspells.\n\nAs the game progresses, the accumulated life total becomes a powerful resource. Large X-spells like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Debt to the Deathless"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Exsanguinate"}},{"insert":" can convert your excess life into devastating damage, while "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Aetherflux Reservoir"}},{"insert":" provides a way to turn your high life total into precise 50-damage strikes. The deck's card advantage comes from life-payment sources like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Phyrexian Arena"}},{"insert":" , which are easily offset by the constant life gain. Some creatures grow stronger as you gain life, providing additional threats. This creates a well-rounded strategy that excels in longer games, where it can establish its engines, control the board, and eventually overwhelm opponents through sustained life drain or explosive finishing plays.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Note - The printings of these cards are extremely expensive and the price does not reflect it's paper counterpart. This deck is specifically designed to be flashy in Playtest for online playing, and functional in paper play."},{"insert":"\n\n"},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"See "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/11128104/the_1"},"insert":"The 1%"},{"insert":" "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"for a more price accurate version."},{"insert":"\n"}]}
