Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Standard mono-black life manipulation build, adapted from a build of Vilis, the Blood Broker that I enjoyed but hadn't played in quite a while. Felt like trying something new, so changed commander to Nashi, added a small recursion package with some sac outlets. Phage really doesn't belong, but wanted to use her since I've had a copy since Legions with no home yet.\n"}]}
