{"ops":[{"insert":"Big Dawg is a deck based around Rinoa, Heartilly's ETB trigger to make Angelo, and then her second ability to make him really big.

The deck's goal is to make a bunch of tokens so Rinoa's second ability can make sweet little Angelo much less little. This deck also has many cards that can blink other cards in and out of the game so, in the devastating event that your 25/25 Angelo is brutally killed, you can blink Rinoa and get him right back without having to kill her and gain commander tax.\n\nOkay, "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"technically"},{"insert":" you could just buff "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"any"},{"insert":" creature in the deck, not just a dog token with no abilities, but that's not the pointttt\n\nWhile making a token deck with Rinoa is a very obvious choice, I wanted to approach it a bit more creatively by focusing on a theme for my creatures that don't share many cards (eg.

When I started making this deck, I only had focus on dogs and squirrels, but I found a few rabbit cards I wanted to add, so they got their own category.\n\nAlso, the creatures have their own styles of play. Most of the dog cards are full creatures, or summon a small pack of other dogs. The squirrels are mostly cards that add more squirrels whenever you want (some instants, some triggers, some creatures) because squirrels are everywhere dude.
