If your commander is out, attack, attack, attack, and block of course. We aren't afraid to send our creatures into a losing fight, in fact, we love it. Death is good, we like, and we want it to happen every turn, all the time. All of them even. Targeted removal? Love them. Board wipes? Our favorites! We don't want to live. Our creatures wish for death, in fact they beg for it. The sweet release and cold embrace. But they still have a job to do, so they don't get to stay dead. Why? Because they need to die again, and again, and again, and they don't stop until you win. Death is not for rest, the deckbox is. We attack with everything, except for a few utility pieces but we will get to that. When our creatures die against that 10/12 Elemental with trample that keeps making 'little' 4/4 elemental babies on landfall, we send everything even though they will die. Do you know why? Because our creatures come back ready to block that motherf$%*#er when it's his turn to attack. Then what do we do? Well, we jump him. Block him with everything, and the babies too with our little 1/1s and 1/2s. They may be sick, but they are still on the clock, so make them do their job and block. And again, we like it when our creatures die. \n\nWhy do we like death? Well, because death triggers and ETB triggers, will trigger ALL THE TIME on EVERYONE'S turn. ETBs and death, don't happen once or twice for us. They happen in MASS forever for us. Why? Read the commander, that's why. Your average common rat, cat, dog, human, whatever creature that is barely worth calling bulk is now putting belt to a$$ on your pod that spent $50-$100 each on their decks.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"background":"#002966"},"insert":"Creatures serve as our interaction."},{"insert":"\nNow utility and interaction, are things we get through our creatures deaths and ETBs.

This is called threat assessment. We all know this, you're not new (I think). As much as we love death, our weakness is exile cards and buffs. If they put a +1/+1 on our creature and he dies with that buff, the commander will not bring him back for overtime on the battlefield. Another thing to mention is we love our creatures dying and even board wipes, but not ALL board wipes, we don't like board wipes or targeted removal when it's removing our commander. Now, we don't have many ways of protecting him, mostly due to cost restraints, but I also got greedy with the amount of creatures in the deck. So, be warned. After all, this is a cheap deck even for a poor man.\n\nFeel free to make your own adjustments. Have fun, and thanks for listening to my TED Talk.\n"}]}
