Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is my PDH deck led by Ghost of Ramirez DePietro and Tormod, the Desecrator in a control shell. \nThe main plan of this deck is to get Ramirez and Tormod out as soon as possible while using your spells to cycle through your deck. As you play your spells, you will be discarding cards from your hand or milling them and Ghost will bring them back into your hand during the combat step while Tormod will create a 2/2 Zombie. \nYou can create more Zombies by exiling cards from your graveyard by using the Flashback, Jumpstart, Delve, and other exile from graveyard effects. \nThe deck also has a good bit of interaction with creature removal, permanent bounce, counter spells all of which you can get back into your hand. Lastly, there are a few transmute cards in the deck (one of my most favorite and underrated mechanics), these mainly act as tutors. \n\nNote: It say's the deck price is around $75, but in reality it's more like $45 including lands. Most of the cards are already in your bulk collection so the deck cost is actually more inexpensive than when I originally built it.
