Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Second crack at theorycrafting a budget Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy deck. This time, I’m looking at what Black offers to the graveyard spellslinger. Naturally, black adds some bonus mill effects and spot removal. The real way to pivot the deck is to look at reanimation. Each reanimator spell can be used twice, so it adds resilience to the creatures! \n"}]}
