I'm not going to claim the cards I'm going with are better cards in general, but I felt that these staple cards felt strictly defensive. Galadriel's Dismissal gives us the option of phasing out an opponents board to swing at them without being blocked, or we can protect our own creatures. We mostly care about our creatures not being wiped, so Inspiring Call keeps the indestructible part of Heroic Intervention while hopefully giving us a ton of card draw.\n\nSome final tips:\n\nFrom my understanding, creatures that are both cats and zombies do not increase the life loss of the commanders ability. They will only increase the number of counters you get when they enter.\n\nIf you want to make this deck more budget-friendly, consider changing the land package first. Dual lands are never necessary and most of other lands can be swapped out for cheaper alternatives.\n\nWith my deck list, it is not imperitive to get the commander out asap. The counters are not as important in this build as it might be in others. I try to wait until I know I'm going to have a lot of tapped creatures or when my creature power really matters.\n\nI hope you enjoy this brew!\n"}]}

I wanted all creatures to be cats and/or zombies (or have changeling), and I wanted to build around my pet card, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Case of the Locked Hothouse"}},{"insert":" . There are only 18 cards in the deck that can't be played from the top of the library with this card, but every deck needs reliable ramp, interaction, and utility and those are often artifacts, instants, and sorceries.\n\nAlthough the deck has no ways to enable haste, there are many cards that allow us to tap our creatures even when they have summoning sickness. My favorite way to do this is with the station mechanic on the planets, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Evendo, Waking Haven"}},{"insert":" , "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Adagia, Windswept Bastion"}},{"insert":" , and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Susur Secundi, Void Altar"}},{"insert":". Evendo, and Susur Secundi are great for when the deck is going wide or tall. There are some targets for Adagia's ability in this deck, but I imagine it might be used more as a tap enabler. Convoke is another mechanic that allows summoning sick creatures to tap. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Dazzling Theater // Prop Room"}},{"insert":" grants all our creature spells convoke and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Wand of the Worldsoul"}},{"insert":" can give another spell convoke. The wand can even be used as surprise interaction on our opponents turns! "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cryptolith Rite"}},{"insert":" is another great way to tap your creatures, but only works for creatures without summoning sickness.\n\nA large weakness of this deck is that we can end up being defenseless at the end of our turn. To mitigate this, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Quest for Renewal"}},{"insert":" and the Prop Room part of the aforementioned room untap our creatures each upkeep. Not only does this allow us to have blockers on our opponents turns, but it also allows us to tap our creatures again with cards such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cryptbreaker"}},{"insert":" , "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gravespawn Sovereign"}},{"insert":" , and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Siege Zombie"}},{"insert":" . Additionally,"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Halo Fountain"}},{"insert":" can make two blockers with the first two abilities at instant speed, or it can win the game outright with its final ability. Next, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ghostly Prison"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Trouble in Pairs"}},{"insert":" discourage our opponents from attacking by either making them lose mana or giving us cards. I'm also trying out "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Benefactor's Draught"}},{"insert":" mostly as a surprise untapper. Any extra cards drawn from it will be a bonus!\n\nThis deck is also very weak to flying since many cats and zombies lack flying or reach. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sphere Grid"}},{"insert":" can give our creatures reach, but you might need to save some removal for those pesky flyers!\n\nSome notable staple cards have been left out of this deck. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Teferi's Protection"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Heroic Intervention"}},{"insert":" have been swapped out for "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Galadriel's Dismissal"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Inspiring Call"}},{"insert":" instead. I'm not going to claim the cards I'm going with are better cards in general, but I felt that these staple cards felt strictly defensive. Galadriel's Dismissal gives us the option of phasing out an opponents board to swing at them without being blocked, or we can protect our own creatures. We mostly care about our creatures not being wiped, so Inspiring Call keeps the indestructible part of Heroic Intervention while hopefully giving us a ton of card draw.\n\nSome final tips:\n\nFrom my understanding, creatures that are both cats and zombies do not increase the life loss of the commanders ability. They will only increase the number of counters you get when they enter.\n\nIf you want to make this deck more budget-friendly, consider changing the land package first. Dual lands are never necessary and most of other lands can be swapped out for cheaper alternatives.\n\nWith my deck list, it is not imperitive to get the commander out asap. The counters are not as important in this build as it might be in others. I try to wait until I know I'm going to have a lot of tapped creatures or when my creature power really matters.\n\nI hope you enjoy this brew!\n"}]}
