Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Designed for local Guild play.\nThe premise is, we all pick a guild of Ravnica, and build a deck around those two colours, incorporating the guilds theme as much as possible. With a total budget of £50 (Sol Ring, Command Tower and Basic Lands are excluded from the budget as they are integral to every deck) and then do battle to see which guild emerges victorious. This is my personal submission for that challenge, based around the Orzhov Council and Taxing opponents out of life for their plays. Board wipes don't really effect this deck and only hurt opponents with cards like Massacre Wurm and Bastion of Remembrance. \n"}]}
