Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"\"Reactive Defense\" is a combo deck helmed by Zur the Enchanter. The deck's primary strategy involves generating lots of charge counters on cards like Vexing Puzzlebox or Eternity Vessel, and then using Resourceful Defense to move them onto Darksteel Reactor for an instant win. Zur is used to get Resourceful Defense, or some stax pieces to survive longer. The deck runs plenty of artifact tutors to get its win conditions out, or to dig for situational responses. The deck also uses a flicker package, which can protect any of our key combo pieces, or to create more counters with our ETB generators. If Reactor is destroyed, some alternative win lines exist using Jinxed Choker for damage or Magistrate's Scepter for a ton of extra turns.\n"}]}
