Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is all about deriving value from disparate places and making the reading of the board state difficult for my opponents. \n\nPlayers make many choices throughout the game that are often taken for granted. Choices such as: \nDo I play more land this turn?"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Do I draw more cards this turn?"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Do I attack?

Regardless of the direction you decide to take your turn, my deck will be deriving some sort of value. \n\nThis deck has won many games because it is so unassuming and there are very few obvious threats on my side of the table. The deck actually used to run Isamaru, Hound of Konda for the sake of not having a threat in the command zone. My initial thinking for this challenge was to simply pick any other mono-white commander that fit the criteria and call it a day. However, when delving deep into EDHRec's mono commanders. I came upon Lieutenant Kirtar. This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Not only is Kirtar just the sort of unassuming this deck thrives on, but he subtly signposts exactly what the deck is all about; subversion. Looking at him from across the table you might think you simply wont attack me or you will first spend removal on him. Either of these choices are valuable. Value in the form of you choosing not to attack me or value in the form of removal bait protecting my bigger (though oft unnoticed) threats.\n\nIf nothing else, this deckbuilding challenge has given me a great new general for one of my favorite decks!\n"}]}
