Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"This is being setup to start figuring out how to build Lightning, and see if can build off typical meta.\nHowever, to start with, I need to build to what seems to be the strength of this card.\nLightning seems to be a typical Boros equipment commander/voltron style deck. However, her gimmick is a combination of full aggressive attack, and table politics.\nOne you have kit a player with lightning, they & all permanents take double damage. This will lead to politic to help sway people to attack that player, & mean people will lean to attack that player. The aggressive side, however, will likely see Lightning taken off the board quickly.\nFrom what I am looking at, you need to build for double double double. Double strike, and double damages, and double combats. This will likely mean that you will get blasted off the table once people figure out what is being setup.\n\nThe alternatives I am looking at after this would be a burn style deck, which would need evasion on Lightning. Life gain, using life gain package to grown creatures and have double damage swings. Potentially a secret commander of feather, and play just combat tricks. And maybe a \"no you\" style deck where damage is directed back on players.\n\nOnce I have tested this pile of cards, I'll need to see what can be altered to make this synergise and be constant, if possible.\n\nFrom testing, if I get lightening to hit with double strike/extra combats, this deck makes you arch enemy quickly. However, it doesn't flow and come out a quickly as I would like, and Lightening is fragile.\n"}]}
