Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"trying to zone change from the graveyard on as many end steps as possible to maximize gau's damage per cycle. we put a premium on filtering to protect our little 2 drop, but even if we can't, he's not that hard to cast again. the only problem w losing Gau is we have little power manipulation and have to restart the power boosting; in the best-case scenario of the worst-case scenario (2/2 summoning-sick Gau), we might still affordably barf out 8 damage in a turn cycle, since many of our... (we need slang for \"leaves the graveyard,\" but I can barely wrap my mind around the flavour of it... Exhume?) Many of our exhumes are mana-free. the fun of play is deciding where to put what, when, since we have a lot of optionality; I don't want this land in my hand for now, so I'll discard it; maybe get it back later if I don't draw land turn 5, or exile it for a Gau trigger. I really enjoy how our engagement w play is built less on passive engines and much more on decisional timing. always a stimulating deck to run - opps are intimated, annoyed, and yet at the end of the day Gau's just a fair, do-nothing growing 2-drop.\n\nTHE PLAN\nwe always want Gau out as fast as possible so he can start scaling up. we never expect to win on commander damage, but rather we want to cheaply increase his power to capitalize on his triggered ability. we heavily favour anything that boosts his power and protects him: Inti, Swords, and Redirects.\n\nsecondly, we want things in the graveyard. ideally multiple things. in this deck, nearly any given card is preferred to be in the graveyard. obviously the best things to dump are the unearths/retrace/flashback, because these cards do things in addition to exhuming, but our favourite things to Exhume are unneeded lands and the discard-draw spells.\n\nthen, when our deck is doing its job, and it has plenty of filtering to get it there, we time our Exhume effects to burn down the table in a couple of turn cycles.\n\nTUTOR TARGETS\nGamble and Reckless Handling are extremely ideal for a deck like this, because they double-dump into our graveyard. We want our 1-drop artifacts that can tap to exhume for free, or can even tap and pay 1 to exile on different turns (Phyrexian Furnace, Scrabbling Claws). Swords vs. white or blue, who have very annoying removal, is also critical. The Timmy play is to get Scav'd brawler in the bin, because its graveyard ability with Gau alone is 6 damage to the table, plus his swing.\n\nTO WORK ON\nThe right balance of discard and exhume\n"}]}
