Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This commander is so versatile it can be built in so many ways. I've decided to attempt a deck that can go the distance and focus on protection. Lots of low mana creatures that sac themselves in order to protect the others. I thought is that this will allow my commander to stay on the board to do its thing as the deck functions, though poorly, without them. Being cheap creatures they are easy to reanimate with the commander. Same strategy applies for removal. Win conditions being that after the ball is rolling lots of huge flying creatures smacking my opponents in the air while generating value along the way. \n"}]}
