Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is a little rusty, seeing as I built it right before the pandemic and it's a hassle to play over webcam.\n\nAn extremely rude deck that uses Zara to steal creature right out of the opponent's hand. A splash of removal keeps the skies clear for Zara to swing, and the rest includes clones effects to copy your stolen creatures for cheap, and a mix of flicker and sacrifice effects to either steal them permanently, or just kill them. It's literally hand attack with more steps. Minor pirate synergy on the side.\n"}]}
