{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is a bracket 2 deck built around a pretty unusual combination of gifting permanents to your opponents, sacrifice synergies, and stax effects. The goal is to give your opponents negative creatures, but because you are often the one putting those Creatures onto the battlefield, the deck needs ways to get rid of them afterward. Sacrifice outlets let you turn those otherwise unwanted permanents into mana, cards, tokens, or other resources.\n\nThe main game plan is to use the gifted permanents and stax pieces like"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Glowrider"}},{"insert":","},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vryn Wingmare"}},{"insert":","},{"insert":{"card-link":"Marble Titan"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Steel Golem"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Grid Monitor"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rug of Smothering"}},{"insert":"to slow down the biggest threats at the table.

You give them permanents they don't necessarily want, restrict their ability to use those permanents effectively, and then use your sacrifice outlets to turn those same permanents into value for you. The deck has several overlapping engines rather than relying on a single linear game plan, with the"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Dross Scorpion"}},{"insert":" combo providing a powerful alternate way to close out the game.\n\nThere are some cool things you can do with this deck, such as casting"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Path to Exile"}},{"insert":"on your own negative creature, so keep in mind that your removal can work for your own board too.
