{"ops":[{"insert":"Rest in Peace "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Krenko, Mob Boss"}},{"insert":", you will be missed. But alas, powercreep comes for us all. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl"}},{"insert":" is a new and improved version of Krenko with more power, more toughness, and an ability that can be activated multiple times in a turn. In fact, it is way easier to get an infinite number of tokens thanks to Squirrel Girl's effect not being a tap ability and not having a once per turn restriction.\n\nThe crux of the deck is the combo, which works with any card that provides your creatures with haste, such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Concordant Crossroads"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lightning Greaves"}},{"insert":", and any card that lets you tap your creatures for mana, like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cryptolith Rite"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Elven Chorus"}},{"insert":". As soon as you have these two things and at least 2 squirrels (bear in mind Squirrel Girl counts as a squirrel and she gives you a free token when she attacks), you can activate Squirrel Girl's ability to double the number of squirrel tokens you control. This instantly gets you 4 squirrel tokens, which is enough to then activate the ability again, and again, and again. Each time, you have to tap 4 squirrels to do it, but by the 5th activation, you will have 16 tapped squirrels and 48 untapped. By the tenth, you will have 36 tapped squirrels and 2012 untapped squirrels. \n\nTo try and get you to this combo as quickly as possible the deck runs a few tutors like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Worldly Tutor"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Defense of the Heart"}},{"insert":" so that you can grab your combo pieces. The deck also runs scry effects like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sylvan Anthem"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Season of Growth"}},{"insert":" alongside draw effects like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Toski, Bearer of Secrets"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Skullclamp"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Shamanic Revelation"}},{"insert":" to try to get to the combo faster. \n\nShoutout to a surprisingly powerful finisher in this deck: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Supportive Parents"}},{"insert":". This one card functions as the two parts of your combo simultaneously, provided you have access to enough squirrels first. Supportive Parents taps creatures for mana without caring about summoning sickness multiple times per turn. This means you can combo off with this one card once you have 8 squirrels.\n\nIf that doesn't work, then you may have to rely on one of two backup plans. \n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"Plan number one:"},{"insert":"\nDo normal krenko things with the rest of the deck. Play out powerful squirrels like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bloodroot Apothecary"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Squirrel Sovereign"}},{"insert":" , then pump the team with typal cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Chronicle of Victory"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Eldrazi Monument"}},{"insert":". The advantage of this strategy compared to regular Krenko decks, is that we are in green. That means we have access to heaps of token doublers like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Primal Vigor"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"For the Common Good"}},{"insert":".\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true},"insert":"Plan number two:"},{"insert":"\nSneak out a surprise victory through your massive advantage in creature count via the biorhythm-esque card: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Shaman of Forgotten Ways"}},{"insert":" and/or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Throne of the God-Pharaoh"}},{"insert":".\n\nLike I mentioned, green has a lot of benefits compared to red for a Krenko style deck. One such benefit is the inclusion of cheap protection effects like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Heroic Intervention"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Steely Resolve"}},{"insert":". The other is the more substantial ramp options, like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Burgeoning"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Utopia Sprawl"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Emerald Medallion"}},{"insert":". This should mean the deck is a little bit faster and sturdier.\n\nThe deck also combos "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gaea's Cradle"}},{"insert":" style ramp cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Evendo, Waking Haven"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Growing Rites of Itlimoc // Itlimoc, Cradle of the Sun"}},{"insert":" with untappers like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Staff of Domination"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Formidable Speaker"}},{"insert":" to generate crazy amounts of mana each turn. \n\nThe deck is currently a bracket 3 because of the potential for infinite combos thanks to cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Earthcraft"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Supportive Parents"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Squirrel Nest"}},{"insert":". If you remove Earthcraft and Supportive parents, as well as the game changers, then the deck would be suitable for bracket 2. To bring the deck up to bracket 4, the deck needs a lot more ways to protect to combo and search it out faster.\n"}]}
