Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is named after one of my all-time favourite tracks, \"Happiness by the Kilowatt\" by Alexisonfire. The song is about the pursuit of something that you haven't actually considered. My first rendition of this deck was too strong to be fun with Atraxa , Praetors' Voice as the commander. It worked exactly as I wanted it to, but that was to the detriment of my playgroup. This is a more toned down version of the same strategy designed to keep things competitive while maintaining a fun atmosphere.\n\nThis deck is meant to come out of the gate fast and get a couple of poison counters onto my opponents with low mana cost infect creatures or instant spells. From there the plan is to defend and proliferate as often as possible to get them up to 10 counters for the win. Good mix of protection and card draw to make this happen. When the game gets to turn 4+ people can usually block and kill the infect creatures I have. That's when it's time for Xavier to sacrifice them to proliferate to keep the effort moving forward. Once creatures serve their purpose, they can be sacrificed for the war effort.\n\nMight need to add some tutors and evasion down the line. But for now this is the plan I am sticking with. Land base feels a little tight of green mana. Always look for a quick infect shot i your opening hand. Without that the deck is really tough to get started.\n\nABANDON THE PLAINSWALKER STRATEGY. THEY DON'T SEEM TO HELP AT ALL. Add 6evasion cards instead.\n"}]}
