Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"Hey, Another deck that's mid from the concept, i really wanted this deck to be less than 60$ but I'll settle for 85$ (11/25/2025). the only way to reach that goal would require to cut more cards that support the core concept of the deck. That being a Squall clue deck. I want to honest without the recent Avatar set Orzhov had little support for clues and even with AtLA there are not many finishers. Especially cheap ones. \n\nSquall is interesting to me because the way he can ramp by using the graveyard. Most decks that take advantage of this by use of more mill, sacrifice, and discard effects. While giving protections to Squall to trigger his recursion. I have placed some of both of these into the deck. But i mostly wanted to use clue tokens as the main source of resource advantage. Although wanting to keep the list affordable has left it somewhat weak. \n\nNotable combo pieces that I've left in the maybe board are Warren Soultrader and Krark-Clan Ironworks which are fantastic sacrifice outlets.\nIM still in the process of finishing this deck but may revisit this list after some playtesting.\n"}]}
