Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Wins: 1"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"This is one of my favorite decks and is one of the easiest for me to play. If I could only keep one of my commander decks, this one is a serious contender.\n\nIt's a deck meant for casual bracket 3. The goal was to make this deck effective without having infinite combos. I feel it stays on theme better and puts a much smaller target on your back in the early game, so no one is ready for Coat of Arms when you have 9 zombies on the field. If you want to spice it up, swap out nonland cards of your choice for Phyrexian Altar, Warren Soultrader, Gravecrawler, and Thornbite Staff.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"How to play:"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Play Gisa. Sacrifice high-power fodder with Gisa to make zombies. Go wide. Increase power and toughness of zombies to sacrifice zombies via anthems, lords, and Coat of Arms. Draw cards based on either the number of zombies you own with Graveborn Muse or by sacrificing zombies with Smothering Abomination or Undead Augur. Blood Artist effects for redundancy and a wincon, in case anybody wants to boardwipe. It can be handy to pack more boardwipes in the deck and use this to your advantage.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"ALSO,"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"if you have Coat of Arms, Maskwood Nexus, and Endless Ranks of the Dead, then the deck will play itself as long as you can activate Gisa's ability. It's one of the most powerful ways to play this deck.\n\nHappy sacrificing!\n"}]}
