{"ops":[{"insert":"My goal was to create to create a Blor "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Blor the Impervious"}},{"insert":" Voltron deck but that was very simple, and I'm not a big fan of creating Voltron. I've never really made one before so I wanted to have a really unique twist that isn't really seen in mono green. Of course, we got the ramp, we got the counters, because obviously I need to do that to be able to push through damage in order to win the game. However my first big concern when building was around Farewell. That's a big issue for my commander because of the non-targeted exile and those types of effects along with mass sacrifice effects will lead to Blor dying. \n\nHe already has indestructible, he already has hexproof, and trample is kind of thrown in there as well so he already has a great sort of Boggles Strat with this with this totality of it all, I came to the conclusion of that I wanted to create a boardwipe deck that also disincentivized my opponents from casting non target removal to take out Blor. So the idea behind this is the cards that destroy non-land permanenants are neutral colored artifact board wipes. A neat side effect is they only destroy nonland permanents therefore it will not qualify as mass land destruction and won't push me into bracket 4. This combined with adding a subfocus on mass land animation disincentivizes regular wraths or mass exiles or mass sacrifice or toxic deluge -X - X style effects by basically forcing the opponent that wants to deal with my Blor they have to blow up their entire board as well as mine and I'm OK with that because I'm a green deck and if we have to start over from zero I can probably hold back a couple of late mana dorks and you know one or two lands maybe and be able to you know come back much more aggressively than they are. \n\nSo I found this a really unique concept, and I'm surprised that no one has ever done this before. I mean obviously we have cards like Zurgo where people that have built him around wraths but that's in the wrath colors black, red, and white. But mono green wrath? It's a unique strategy that is an unexplored space. I investigated Archidekt and there are some Voltron green commanders there's even some boardwiping mono green decks but there hasn't been or at least I have not seen any decks created of a Voltron wrath commander in monogreen.\n\nMy favorite card I found was “The Moment” it helps Blor avoid some of the few silver bullet removals that can actually hit it while the second mode is the exact type of boardwipe my deck is looking for."},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Moment"}},{"insert":" \n\nWhile this build is very unconventional, it by no means is ineffective. I have have designed this deck to hold its own at bracket 2 and 3 tables and can kill someone on turn 6 if it doesnt have to deploy it defenses which obviously slow it down a decent amount of the time.\n\n\nOk enough about the vibes, reasoning,or explanation about the picks. Heres the primer for how this deck wants to play\n\n\nWe have 13 2 mana or less ramp spells/dorks. Our goal is to have at least one of them in our hand along with 2-3 lands\n\nTurn 1: Once we have a keepable hand we play a land turn 1 and usually throwout a mana accerator or if we dont have one of those we might as well drop a hardened scales or equipment if we have 1\n\nTurn 2: ramp, ramp, we want to play a land and a 2 mana ramp or 3 mana if we have a dork. this turn also can enable us to sneak in a tapped land if \n\nTurn 3: in an ideal world we hit ramp ramp and are able to cast Blor here. But we dont play expecting this, its nice upside if we can but usually we are on 4 mana here. so here if we cant cast the commander we play a protection piece to maintain our life total like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Crawlspace"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Silent Arbiter"}},{"insert":" , a buff piece for when we play Blor like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Earth Crystal"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ozolith, the Shattered Spire"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Maester Seymour"}},{"insert":" , or we set up one of our many Blordwipes (trademark pending) like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Karn's Sylex"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Time Bomb"}},{"insert":" to clear the way on a future turn.\n\nTurn 4: Usually we play Blor here hopefully we have some stuff already on the board to get his power buffed up a bit immediatly. If hes already in play great skip ahead.\n\nTurn 5: Cast our buffs/ equipments then hit someone for 6-8 damage usually\n\nTurn 6: this is an important turn, this where you decide do i go all in to try and take out one player and hope Blor can survive a cycle and then try and do the same to the next player, or as I recommend We set up a jigsaw trap and say "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Let's Play a Game"}},{"insert":" .
