{"ops":[{"insert":"This is a very focused and consistent "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief"}},{"insert":" deck built to make tons of mana using "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cabal Coffers"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth"}},{"insert":" to cast splashy X-spells to win with. The deck is very linear. It will play out in a very similar way every time. The way we get to the "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cabal Coffers"}},{"insert":" + "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth"}},{"insert":" to win may vary, but the destination is always the same. With this said, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cabal Coffers"}},{"insert":" is obviously meant to be utilized in conjunction with tons of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snow-Covered Swamp"}},{"insert":"s. This is why "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth"}},{"insert":" turning each land into a "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Swamp"}},{"insert":" is so important, it’s our main source of big mana. All of our tutors, such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Expedition Map"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"World Map"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Urza's Cave"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Grim Servant"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Beseech the Queen"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Diabolic Revelation"}},{"insert":" allow us to find "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cabal Coffers"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth"}},{"insert":" should we need it. It is vital to the gameplan to get at least "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cabal Coffers"}},{"insert":" online as quickly as possible. Should "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cabal Coffers"}},{"insert":" be destroyed, we run "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Petrified Field"}},{"insert":" to recur it. We also play multiple copy effects for the "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cabal Coffers"}},{"insert":" to get even more activations, such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Thespian's Stage"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vesuva"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Manascape Refractor"}},{"insert":". "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Deserted Temple"}},{"insert":" can also untap "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cabal Coffers"}},{"insert":", allowing us to use it again, while "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Magus of the Coffers"}},{"insert":" is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cabal Coffers"}},{"insert":" on a stick, and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nirkana Revenant"}},{"insert":" gives us extra mana from our "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snow-Covered Swamp"}},{"insert":"s, which we want a ton of for the "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cabal Coffers"}},{"insert":" anyway. Speaking of, we run "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snow-Covered Swamp"}},{"insert":"s mainly to take advantage of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Extraplanar Lens"}},{"insert":" for a similar use case as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nirkana Revenant"}},{"insert":", as we're probably the only ones running "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snow-Covered Swamp"}},{"insert":"s, so the effect of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Extraplanar Lens"}},{"insert":" when we imprint a "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snow-Covered Swamp"}},{"insert":" under it is not symmetrical. To accelerate our "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snow-Covered Swamp"}},{"insert":"s, we run many cards that grab extra lands and put them either into our hand or onto the battlefield, such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Armillary Sphere"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Canoptek Wraith"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Liliana of the Dark Realms"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Solemn Simulacrum"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Burnished Hart"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Wayfarer's Bauble"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Myriad Landscape"}},{"insert":". To take advantage of the extra lands in hand, we also play cards that allow us to play extra lands, like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ghirapur Orrery"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Terrain Generator"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Walking Atlas"}},{"insert":". Moving past this, there are also smaller mana generators present to help set up before we can grab "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cabal Coffers"}},{"insert":". "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bubbling Muck"}},{"insert":" is very helpful to get the mana necessary to stick a "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Crypt Ghast"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nirkana Revenant"}},{"insert":", or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Black Market"}},{"insert":" early to turn a temporary burst of mana into a long-term solution. Obviously, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sol Ring"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Arcane Signet"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Charcoal Diamond"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Everflowing Chalice"}},{"insert":" can do the same, but "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Basal Thrull"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Soldevi Adnate"}},{"insert":" are also very good at providing a small burst as well. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief"}},{"insert":" is, at worst, a mana sink for all this mana we are making. She is removal and a buff on a stick, with her activated ability giving another target creature -0/-X and herself +X/+0 until end of turn. This gets around indestructibility as well, making it especially handy. This is also why the small protection package of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lightning Greaves"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Swiftfoot Boots"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Professor's Warning"}},{"insert":" is in the deck, as if "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief"}},{"insert":" can activate her ability a few times with a bunch of mana, it isn’t too hard to swing for lethal with commander damage. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief"}},{"insert":" is not the main win condition of the deck, however. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Exsanguinate"}},{"insert":" is by far the easiest way to win in the deck; it drains every other player and heals us, plus we can search for it with our plethora of tutors. Some of our other X-cost cards include "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Stargaze"}},{"insert":", being the premiere way to draw a bunch of cards on demand, and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Profane Command"}},{"insert":" to potentially drain a player, recur a card, remove a creature, or give our creatures fear. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Black Sun's Twilight"}},{"insert":" is very similar, being removal and creature recursion. More removal in the deck follows a similar theme of -X/-X to get around indestructible creatures and draw with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Massacre Girl, Known Killer"}},{"insert":". "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Defile"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mutilate"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Dead of Winter"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Blood on the Snow"}},{"insert":" all get better with the amount of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snow-Covered Swamp"}},{"insert":"s we possess. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Dead of Winter"}},{"insert":" is especially good given our focus on "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snow-Covered Swamp"}},{"insert":"s. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Decree of Pain"}},{"insert":" is also included as a more generic board wipe, with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Feed the Swarm"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Withering Torment"}},{"insert":" making sure we eat our vegetables. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mouth of Ronom"}},{"insert":" gives us another payoff for playing "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snow-Covered Swamp"}},{"insert":" as well with removal from the landbase. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sunstone"}},{"insert":" also lets us use our "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snow-Covered Swamp"}},{"insert":"s to blank combats, allowing us to live one more turn if we can win on the crack back. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Scrying Sheets"}},{"insert":" is also a valuable piece and a reason we play "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snow-Covered Swamp"}},{"insert":"s, as it allows us to dig for more "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snow-Covered Swamp"}},{"insert":"s. Another consistent aspect of our draw comes from creatures dying. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Massacre Girl, Known Killer"}},{"insert":" synergizes incredibly well with the -X/-X effects to draw us cards when opponent’s creatures die to said -X/-X effects. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Morbid Opportunist"}},{"insert":" draws a card when any creature dies, once per turn. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Dread Presence"}},{"insert":" lets us draw a card when we play a "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Snow-Covered Swamp"}},{"insert":". "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Massacre Wurm"}},{"insert":" is a great way to kill a bunch of creatures at once to draw a bunch of cards. Past when creatures die, cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Phyrexian Arena"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Keen Duelist"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Underworld Connections"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bloodgift Demon"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Syphon Mind"}},{"insert":" allow us to draw extra cards as well. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Phyrexian Reclamation"}},{"insert":" is also incredibly handy to return potential game-enders to our hand from the graveyard, such as"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gray Merchant of Asphodel"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pestilence Demon"}},{"insert":". "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Boseiju, Who Shelters All"}},{"insert":" is also incredibly important for making our "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Exsanguinate"}},{"insert":"s uncounterable. Essentially, to win, pump "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief"}},{"insert":" to remove the blockers in her way and make her bigger for lethal, cast a big "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Exsanguinate"}},{"insert":", or cast a bunch of compounding drain effects like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Massacre Wurm"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gray Merchant of Asphodel"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Twilight Prophet"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pestilence Demon"}},{"insert":", and let them accumulate throughout the game.
