Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"budget life gain / life drain deck. May have to switch commander if playgroup doesn't like the staxy nature. There are some two card combos in the sideboard (Bloodythirsty Conqueror ; Walking Ballista) in case circumstances require them. Including them from the outset would move it up a bracket, and it would be a weak bracket 4 deck\n"}]}
