{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is primarily trying to win via combat. I see no other way of winning without infinite combos. It makes a lot of merfolk and lord of Atlantis really helps make them sightly stronger.\n"}]}
{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck just doesn’t move fast enough. I am no match up against someone with flying and indestructible early. The deck plays very well late game. I’m pretty sure the mana curve is way too low as well. I also end up not having counter spells when I need them or use them early or not enough ramp with mana left to spend on countering until late game.\n"}]}
