{"ops":[{"insert":"The main plan is to stack Extort effects and cast lots of cheap spells, draining my opponents and gaining life. Plan is to use that life to keep the engine going, while Kingpin can turn the cheap high-toughness blockers into big attackers as a backup win condition.\n"}]}
{"ops":[{"insert":"Mostly looking for some alternate viewpoints and a sanity check! This is one of the first Commander decks I’ve built from scratch, so I’d love some more experienced eyes on it. Are there any obvious gaps, cards that aren’t pulling their weight, or interactions/synergies I’m overlooking? Also think I could use a better way to play things out of my graveyard and/or ways to get more mana because that seems to be the weakest area\n"}]}
