{"ops":[{"insert":"My favorite deck of all time:"},{"attributes":{"header":1},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"This deck is basically my personal tribute to the manga, built around that massive contrast between the two characters. I used Trynn as Griffith because he’s the one gathering the Band of the Hawk, and I use Silvar as the \"Beast of Darkness\" to show that dark, inner malice that Guts is constantly fighting against. It’s got all the iconic stuff—the Behelit, the Berserker Armor, and the Dragon Slayer—but the real vibe of the deck is just seeing the story play out on the table. I didn't care about making a \"perfect\" deck; I just wanted every card to feel like a shout-out to Miura’s work.\n"},{"attributes":{"header":1},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Berserk Arcs Reference:"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"I.
