Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Trick your friends and opponents with a front-facing merfolk typal deck. While others expect you to go wide, set up your defenses with protective enchantments. Use tutors to assemble your primary combo finish, Stonybrook Schoolmaster, Intruder Alarm, and some permanent to tap a creature you control. There are many ways for this to finish but you can generally make an arbitrarily large number of tokens, or otherwise win the game on the spot. Should your key pieces be removed, they can be brought back from the graveyard through Sun Titan. Pillow fort strategies are also powerful in stalling out the game while you assemble your combo. \n"}]}
