There's different effects and strengths to every p/t combo and different commanders or gameplans could still highlight wild pair but change the texture of the deck a lot. Consider how "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Anikthea, Hand of Erebos"}},{"insert":" would change the tutor plan, or for an example from our alt packages, what a more staxy list could look like. I added this maybeboard because I saw "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Realm Razer"}},{"insert":" and instantly fell in love. I think this version of the list could end up being very interesting, especially because once you have wild pair on the board, you can double spell cheap creatures off of only 3 or 4 mana which you should have from dorks and a couple land drops. I ultimately didn't go with that option because it would probably be less fun in general and mass land denial is some bracket 4 activity, but the option is there. Suggested adds that would help with this gameplan are appreciated.\nThe other Alt Package shows a different p/t combo that could be built around. I've managed to clean the combo up a bit since its first iteration and it's really growing on me, I might build a wild pair focused on 7p/t as well now.\n"}]}
