{"ops":[{"attributes":{"background":"transparent","color":"#000000"},"insert":"This deck was created to recreate the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail for a bracket 1 table through characters, iconic scenes, and props. WOTC has released a secret lair set with this film as the background, so I thought a deck built around this movie would be a great way to introduce people who have never seen the movie to this classic! There really isn’t a win-con, the whole thing is based around making your opponents laugh as much as possible. I mean, there ARE win-cons but that’s not really important. Anyway, I will list each card that is a reference, and some ways to maximize the flavor! Any cards that belong to the secret lair will be marked with an asterisk, so if you WANT to pick any of them up to help bring the vision to life you can, but they’re not required. There are some banned cards, so make sure to ask your pod if they’re cool with you running them. Even better if they let you start with omniscience and Johnny, Combo Player on the board so you can get the ball rolling and keep it going!"},{"insert":"\n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true,"background":"transparent","color":"#000000","bold":true},"insert":"Characters"},{"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"background":"transparent","color":"#000000"},"insert":"King Arthur- Kenrith, the Returned King.
