Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"From a first glance this deck has two win strategies, both combat based. Incremental value builds as this deck utilizes low mana, evasive creatures, and valuable, high mana creatures. The unblockable weenies can scale in power through commander triggers, or through board presence, easily dealing 10-20 damage by turns 5 and 6. The high mana creatures act as dead cards, building advantage as grave fodder until the prime reanimation payoff arrives. \n\nThis playstyle churns through its cards enough, that no tutors are needed immediately. It will simply discard every non-relevant card and play empty handed, building value until a win. If the commander is not present, it has trouble churning, but it is not impotent. It has support in cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Queen of Dale"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ledger Shredder"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Faerie Mastermind"}},{"insert":" , and other low mana creatures that loot off combat damage. However, any disruption against their churning, and this deck is left to fight an uphill battle.\n\nHeavy removal and protection packages allow this deck to be resilient enough to survive its meta, and is a product of high bracket 3/ low bracket 4 playstyles. A single "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Akroma's Will"}},{"insert":" or combination of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Galadriel's Dismissal"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Toxic Deluge"}},{"insert":" will render board wipes as windows for this strategy to take over the game. However, without removal or protection, it is very hard to build back the resources lost in those exchanges. A resolved wipe or a political coup (teaming up removal against one player) against this deck renders it empty handed and in the shoes of Sisyphus. But that shouldn't discount the power in this build.\n\nThe high mana, \"value town\" reanimation targets allow this deck to catch opponents off guard with a devastating reanimator theme. Most of the targets are never expected to be cast, as there is no way for the deck to ramp into them, but expected to be discarded to commander triggers or otherwise. A good turn 3 "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Psychic Frog"}},{"insert":" into "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Reanimate"}},{"insert":" bringing back "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite"}},{"insert":" can steal the rest of the game if not interacted with. But by that time, this deck hopes to draw relevant removal or protection, to build resilience through opposition.\n\nThe removal and protection are found in counter magic and protection against board wipes. Other than that, there are fringe pieces that take care of a variety of \"anti-creature\" interaction, some even doubling as value for board state and commander triggers. That is mostly what this deck struggles against, and it usually doesn't have to worry in \"safe\" metas that don't encourage resilient removal ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sudden Spoiling"}},{"insert":" ) or consistent board wipes ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Supreme Verdict"}},{"insert":"). This deck might also struggle with it's \"all in\" mentality, not having anyway to draw up to hand size, or outpace its quicker competitors. It solely relies on finding at least three lands, and hoping to stick its gapped one-drops and eight-drops. But, that is a fun play style, and this deck has ways to pull \"trump\" cards that support that all in play feel. \n\nI analyzed this deck according to the philosophies in a beginner's guide of deck building. This analysis is not a destructive criticism of this deck, but more of an appreciation towards a deck build that is different. The owner described it as one of their most successful decks, and that is a beautiful thing about the game. It thrives through diversity, construction, and perspective. I appreciate them greatly for feeling free to post this, as more people should be aware of these style of builds. \n\nHave a great day, and stay RAD ;)\n\n"}]}
