Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is named the way it is strictly because the deck is almost entirely focused on the upkeep step. Every card in the 99 triggers in the upkeep in some form or fashion, be it yours, your opponents', or all of them! While there are plenty of gems for value and power, there are also a fair share of stinkers and the entire deck moves at a glacial pace before you get to the Upkeep of 1 Billion Triggers (hyperbole included at no cost to you!). This is a great deck with which to familiarize yourself with the stack, APNAP order, and devious trigger arrangement sequences to optimize card interaction, skills that will in time transfer to your wider play experience in Magic regardless of format. Also, you get to ominously declare that it is... THE UPKEEP STEP every turn.\n"}]}
