Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck looks to work around banding in a different way than usual. Instead of allocating blockers with the aim to simply extending your creature's survival, the goal is to lead to blocker set-ups that can be swapped using General Jarkeld's tap ability, allowing damage to get through. As such, the keyword of the deck is banding, with the rest of the deck revolving around dumping keywords onto your bands to make them more problematic or difficult to block beneficially. \n"}]}
