Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"My 2nd oldest deck. Starts out slow but ramps up great in middle-late game with coffers usually with help of tutors. I play out and bounce gonti to use my opponent's stuff. win cons: value town board, Crypt Rats, drain with Merchant, ult Liliana, fireball with Damnable Pact, Ulamog.\n\nUpdated 3/16/25 fixed mana curve, updated with newer cards, and replaced situational cards, and added some better early CMC card draw. Should ramp a lot better in the early game and feel less clunky. \n"}]}
