Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is my second main stay deck for my official list of decks. My first deck being my Ur-Dragon Decklist. This commander is built to be a one man army, fighting against all odds. Finding ways to get around anything and everything but it all relies on Haystack. The only thing that is difficult to avoid is putting the commander in the hand from the field from cyclonic rift, almost nothing can avoid that. But haystack can make the commander avoid that at instant speed. This deck is an experiment 1, and a Voltron power house second I will Tweek it until it can keep up with the big boys, which is coming together to be not that difficult. Stay tuned.\n"}]}
