{"ops":[{"insert":"The aim of this deck is to have Eirdu transform into Isilu, giving your creatures persist. Then using Starfield of Nyx or Opalescence turn your sagas into creatures, thus when they are sacrificed after their final chapter, they are automatically reanimated thanks to having persist. They come back with a -1/-1 counter and their first lore counter, giving two chapter abilities that turn.\n\nThe final step is to use Virtue of Loyalty or Barrensteppe Siege to remove the -1/-1 counters, giving them back persist. You mostly want to choose Abzan with Barrensteppe Siege, though if you have Virtue of Loyalty on the field (and probably some enchantment recursion in hand), consider choosing Mardu instead to turn your reanimation engine into creature removal.\n\nBarbara Wright and the Patrolling Peacemaker (and optionally Metastatic Evangel) allow you to mess around with your chapters in ways that make it harder to predict for your opponents. \n\nThe rest of the deck is mostly sagas and sagas support, notably enchantment recursion for full board wipes and times that Isilu is removed.\n\nAdagia, Windswept Bastion should be relatively easy to bring online once your saga recursion engine is active, allowing you to double up on sagas. Ian Chesterton also allows for this, but only on cast and is probably a one or two time trigger in the early game, but should be done every time in the late game. He is probably one of the first cards to cut, if not a weaker saga.\n\nThe win condition is to out value your opponents with the sheer number of sagas (many of which create tokens), or to attack with a powerful Neva who gets +1/+1 every time a saga finishes. For more consistency, consider some anthem enchantments to make your tokens more impactful.\n\nIf you choose to add in Metastatic Evangel and cards like Cathar’s Crusade, note that it is fairly easy to go infinite if you have enough sagas on the field due to them entering as creatures. This could be an issue in lower bracket games which is why I have decided not to include the cards in the main list. A similar effect can be achieved by having Barbara choose for sagas to enter in their final chapter with Cathar’s Crusade on the field.\n\nRemember that proliferating forces you to add -1/-1 counters if they are present, so wait for those to be removed.\n"}]}

Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"The aim of this deck is to have Eirdu transform into Isilu, giving your creatures persist. Then using Starfield of Nyx or Opalescence turn your sagas into creatures, thus when they are sacrificed after their final chapter, they are automatically reanimated thanks to having persist. They come back with a -1/-1 counter and their first lore counter, giving two chapter abilities that turn.\n\nThe final step is to use Virtue of Loyalty or Barrensteppe Siege to remove the -1/-1 counters, giving them back persist. You mostly want to choose Abzan with Barrensteppe Siege, though if you have Virtue of Loyalty on the field (and probably some enchantment recursion in hand), consider choosing Mardu instead to turn your reanimation engine into creature removal.\n\nBarbara Wright and the Patrolling Peacemaker (and optionally Metastatic Evangel) allow you to mess around with your chapters in ways that make it harder to predict for your opponents. \n\nThe rest of the deck is mostly sagas and sagas support, notably enchantment recursion for full board wipes and times that Isilu is removed.\n\nAdagia, Windswept Bastion should be relatively easy to bring online once your saga recursion engine is active, allowing you to double up on sagas. Ian Chesterton also allows for this, but only on cast and is probably a one or two time trigger in the early game, but should be done every time in the late game. He is probably one of the first cards to cut, if not a weaker saga.\n\nThe win condition is to out value your opponents with the sheer number of sagas (many of which create tokens), or to attack with a powerful Neva who gets +1/+1 every time a saga finishes. For more consistency, consider some anthem enchantments to make your tokens more impactful.\n\nIf you choose to add in Metastatic Evangel and cards like Cathar’s Crusade, note that it is fairly easy to go infinite if you have enough sagas on the field due to them entering as creatures. This could be an issue in lower bracket games which is why I have decided not to include the cards in the main list. A similar effect can be achieved by having Barbara choose for sagas to enter in their final chapter with Cathar’s Crusade on the field.\n\nRemember that proliferating forces you to add -1/-1 counters if they are present, so wait for those to be removed.\n"}]}
