Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"The goal of the deck is to win with tempo and evasion. Lydia, the commander this deck is built around, helps you to push commander or face damage to both activate Freerunning-like effects, or to tap your assassins so you can filter your draws with Lydia's surveil effect, while also fueling the graveyard for some of your other cards to profit off of. Alongside that, around a little less then half of the deck is historical cards, granting discounts on Excalibur, letting you bounce other things with Desynchronization, and allowing some assassins that care about historical cards reap the benefits of said cards as well. This deck can also be played with Evie/Jacob Frye or Ramses as your commander, however the deck's function changes around slightly if you were to.\n"}]}
