Choose your preferred layout. You can mix and match options using the View as & Group by drop-downs above.

{"ops":[{"insert":"Shirei's effect is great, but being limited to 1 power or less would mean getting stuck with just a bunch of 1/1s.\n\nOr so you would think. Shirei's effect turns walls into highly recursive sacrifice fodder that can also keep you protected from the aggro players by taking the hits and coming back at the end of the turn (because Shirei's effect doesn't just apply on your turn!) This makes your board state incredibly sticky, which isn't something you often get with a lot of aristocrat decks (at least in my experience). \n\nThe gameplan is to try to ramp into Shirei as fast as you can while also setting up your defenses, then using cards like Jaws of Defeat, Meathook Massacre, and Agent of the Iron Throne to ping your opponents over and over again and Edict effects to chew through their boards. With Jaws of Defeat on the board, The Walls of Ba Sing Se can basically delete a player (or at the very least take a massive bite out of their life total) every time it hits the field from Shirei's effect. Gleaming Barrier becomes a repeatable ramping tool, letting you sacrifice it over and over again to make treasures.\n"}]}
