Description
{"ops":[{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"**WIP**"},{"insert":"\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"”Be ever loyal to your own best interests.” -Toshiro Umezawa"},{"insert":"\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Toshiro Umezawa"}},{"insert":" is my favorite commander deck of all time. A mono black creature from a bygone era and notoriously strange block, Toshiro Umezawa lacks a lot of grandeur and shock value that many of the new Commander-Ready creature cards of the modern age have. \n\nToshiro Umezawa is a 1BB Human Samurai, with bushido 1, and an ability that lets you cast an Instant card from your graveyard, every time a creature your opponents control dies. Assuming you’re familiar with the concept of instant speed removal spells, I’m sure you’re able to see where this going. This deck is a spell-slinging removal circus, that generates most of it’s value by accumulating large amounts of black mana, and using it to string together a large amount instant’s during the same turn, to destroy your opponents boards, thin out options, and generate incremental value. This deck rewards both patient opportunism, as well as extremely reactionary kill on sight behavior. While the gameplan is relatively simple, how and when you string together your combo’s is where the true skill \nexpression lies.\n\nSo, now that you know what Toshiro wants to do, let’s look at what you want from your starting hands, and how to begin establishing a strong board state.\n\nOPENING HANDS: Toshiro has really two options for “great opening Hands”. \n\nThe first ideal scenario is what I call “The Swamp Hand”. This is a starting hand that is majority mana, with maybe one or two spells. Ideally these spells are either value engines or powerful removal spells. The strength of hands like these, is that you can guarantee you get Toshiro out on curve while banking on the fact that the large amount of instants in the deck means playing off draws is relatively reliable. \n\nThe second ideal scenario is the “Turn 3 Massacre”. This hand usually contains 2-3 lands with a piece of ramp, 2-3 removal spells, and maybe a powerful permanent spell to take advantage of your opponents early thinned out boards.\n"}]}
