Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This classic dimir control deck is my take on Lazav himself. Originally build in 2017, this deck shapeshifted beyond and back. This deck was supposed to be only as good as the opponent(s) decks and stayed true to that in many ways. After including expropriate and sudden substitution the deck gained two interesting win cons of it‘s own. \nPlease enjoy the deck. \nYou will see more may align than meets the eye at first hands notice. \n\nThis deck never feels old or „the-same-as-before“ because each new game, each new pod makes the deck feel, work and play differently because you are not just playing your cards, you play your opponents decks and, most important, you play your opponent’s. If your good, they might not even recognise the „word-of-command“ of your eminence. \n\nFeel free to cut out the Gamechanger-Cards to milden the deck.\n The cards are easily replaced. Use your imagination. \n\nBest Regards\n-Robin \n"}]}
