{"ops":[{"insert":"How to pilot the deck:\nPlay Zuko early and use him to make up for whatever your starting hand lacks - mana if you kept on 2 lands, card draw if you're mana flooded. Layer pump spells for massive early game damage. Keeping track of commander damage is a must for this deck as your main path to victory is to pump your commander or someone else's commander. You need to use politics and tactical goading to stop people for killing you instantly. Good news is that this deck will do a lot of damage to itself which means people are more likely to not see you as a threat due to your low life total. You also won't have many permanents on the field making you look meek from a glance. Often times you'll have only Zuko to defend against oncoming creatures. Make sure you have spells to buff or resurrect Zuko so you can defend... or at least make your opponents think you do and pray that deters them from swinging.\nLastly, remove token generators. This deck folds so fast to token generators.\n\nHow to pilot yourself:\nI've been playing this deck for a couple months now and I truly do feel I've stumbled upon something special. It's not a very \"winning\" deck - you'll almost always lose. However you will always, at some point each game, create a big moment of drama or tension or politics, or something engaging. This deck doesn't create victories, it wasn't ever meant to, this deck creates memories and surprises. If you like politics, if you like explosive turns, if you like seeing ridiculous damage numbers this deck is for you. \nIf your play group is very hesitant to utilize the combat step to smack each other and you don't like that, this deck is for you.\nThis deck has made pillow fort players in my playgroup finally turn creatures sideways and not feel guilty since they were forced to swing. Makes games faster, more interactive, and engaging.\nI like this deck a lot! Since winning is somewhat of a rarity I've taken to marking a tally with Sharpie on the Commander every time I'm able to win with it. I don't have many tallies but the one's I do have were all hard fought and memorable.\n\n"}]}
