{"ops":[{"insert":"Disclaimer: I have never played a game of Premodern. Meta calls, such as mainboard Annul, are based on my observation of the meta as described by MTG Goldfish.\n\nThe goal is to put wizards on the board, then use tap effects to counter removal against them and opposing combos (Specifically against Stiflenaut). \nAphetto Grifter and Patron Wizard are the main engines intended to control the opponent (tapping their meaningful permanents and forcing the opponent to have as much mana as you have wizards (plus base costs).\n\nI suspect this will struggle against Oath of Druids decks (one of the reasons to maindeck Annul and Stern Proctor), and decks that ramp or cheat costs (elves, madness-style decks).\n"}]}
