Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"A different take to the normal Kindred decks. It's focused on both birds and beast. Using the best cards from both types. Play a few set up pieces, ramp into Tawnos early, then double up on all your beasts and birds. The deck has a few ways to copy Tawnos' or any other triggered ability for extra value. A small mutate sub-theme makes the deck especially interesting. After the board is built, protect it with removal and counterspells. When the time is right, use one of the \"Big Finish\" cards and take out a player or the whole table!\n"}]}
