Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is a stab at a Grixis voting deck. Without White, we are missing some of the better voting cards and all of the extra voters... but The Valeyard who is in the command zone. We do get all of the Villainous Choice cards as a consolation prize though.\nThe idea of this build is to stuff all of the Voting and Villainous Choice cards - even the bad ones - into the deck and see what happens. We also have a small cloning subtheme dedicated almost entirely to our commander and making people make more bad choices. There is also a surprising amount of burn amongst the Villainous Choice cards, so our end game is to watch the world burn as our opponents argue about which bad choice to make.\n"}]}
