Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This has been a blast to play! Turning into one of my favorite decks. \n\nHere is the idea: What if the creature really isn't worth the opponent paying three life for something giving you mild value? \nStill trying to walk that line of useful but not worth three life. The rest is select cards we need to keep up. Like, the deck has a lot of board wipes to leverage these low cmc creatures\n\nSo far the gameplay feels pretty good. Does the elf player have some mana dorks they keep abusing? We'll ask someone else to give us that fumespitter back then. Is there a treasure mad pirate deck going off? Let's keep the disciple of the vault out by asking our opponents to keep giving it back after we skullclamp it. And so on. \n"}]}
