Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"A Commander version of the blueprint behind what we now know as 'Aristocrats' decks: Project X. Originally a Standard deck circa 2007, Project X involved the infinite interaction between Saffi Eriksdottr and Crypt Champion, potentially winning off infinite life via Essence Warden or infinite Spirits/removal with Teysa, Orzhov Scion. Given how fragile the combo win can be, the remaining cards create a toolbox to take advantage of other graveyard/recursion/sacrifice synergies, allowing for a versatile approach towards victory. Control, combo, and aggro are all possible. All without the typical Commander midrange bloat.\n\nSomething that wasn't possible when the original Project X standard deck was legal, was taking advantage of the natural amount of humans played. Human synergy cards have of course only gotten better with time, making what was once a meme now the dream.\n\nOf note, the choice of commander is mostly for curve consideration/flavor. Having two commanders is important though, and thankfully there are a surprising amount of interesting combinations for this deck using Partner: \n\nhttps://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=oracle%3APartner+type%3Alegendary+color%3C%3DWBG\n"}]}
