Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Wait, what? How does Marath, usually a +1/+1 counters strategy all about going tall, turn into an Aristocrats-style sac deck? The answer: Persist creatures. Lots and lots of them. Naya has a surprising number of sac outlets available to it, plenty of ways of putting +1/+1 counters on creatures that enter the battlefield, and a lot of pay-off cards for when creatures ETB or die. It's not the most efficient way of getting it done, admittedly, and the deck is still a work in progress, but still...it's not the sort of strategy most will expect from the big dumb counter cow.\n"}]}
