{"ops":[{"insert":"The essence of this deck is to embody a necromantic mechanic. Assemble a rube goldberg machine consisting of your permanents. \n\nWith mastery over death and flesh, prepare to remake the world in your image; inspired by the natural processes that generate ecosystems and biospheres, if something so blind and dumb can make this world then surely someone with intelligence and vision could correct its horrors. Life will be organized into a great ecology of souls, and it will have been better for it; in the mean time you will repurpose what flesh you can find in new and creative ways.\n\nOur zombies will be recycled into card draw / quality, mana and reanimation effects, we will take advantage of draw doublers and token multipliers to maximize our return on each zombie. We are trying to win with layered combo interactions by connecting 3 generically good pieces and a finisher or by finding a more refined 3 card combo. We can explode as the game progresses due to the exponentiation of our zombies and the conversion that feeds them into back into our grinder making activations easier to chain.\n\nThe main gameplan is to get cards in the graveyard, play zombies and rocks to get out early Varina triggers. I tend to hold up interaction and if i have nothing to remove dump the mana into Varina activations. If you have parts of a combo developed, tutor for the final piece; otherwise continue developing material that will scale value or provide scaffolding to connect dispirit parts of 3 card combo into a 4 card combo. \n\nThere are hundreds of overlapping combos lines to discover, but here are some more straight forward combos:\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Blasting Station"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Altar of Dementia"}},{"insert":"\ncombo with\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gravecrawler"}},{"insert":" with a ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pitiless Plunderer"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rooftop Storm"}},{"insert":")\nor\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Liliana, Untouched by Death"}},{"insert":" + "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Shambling Ghast"}},{"insert":" \nor\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ratadrabik of Urborg"}},{"insert":" + "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gollum, Patient Plotter"}},{"insert":"\nBlasting station and Altar of dementia both act as a sac outlet.

Ive also not had much play testing with it in its current state, so this is more theory than practice and probably has way too much interaction and is missing new amenkhet cards. This is why its only a 3, after play testing ill set it to a 4.\nupdate1: i have taken out 3 removal cards and one rock. In their place i have added effects that have bad combo potential but allow scaling.
