{"ops":[{"insert":"Tempo deck, get out warden ideally and stack fast with novice inspectors and carrot cakes, removal prices are mostly artifacts so if someone else is playing aggressive you can play removal but also work towards making artifacts to tap for warden. Smithy helps you secure games you're snowballing. Warden on one and any combination of carrot cakes, and inspectors on two and three make a smithy on four pretty much game over unless they just have a sweeper or a hand full of control. The deck offers a lot of threat potential at all stages in the game making it almost a tempo/midrange hybrid. The trade off is that while you can effortlessly out scale aggro and usually endure control decks in the late game. The deck usually always has something to do and very infrequently will you not have something to do. You can craft artifacts. Sac clues. Play creatures. A lot of card information is gathered by your non removal cards, with smithy being the only real exception. So even if you are at six and don't have a warden or smithy in hand. Two mana (even if one is a bascilla) isn't totally lost due to the cheap cmc of a majority of the deck. \n\nThis deck seems to lose against other tuned tempo decks, particularly the +1/+1 counter decks that have been running rampant. I play this in best of 1 on arena but if you're playing best of three I suggest more removal like destroy evil and other big boy shooters or maybe also lay down arms if that's still legal. Outside of that, some graveyard hate and protection with something like \"Raise your shield\" to also grow your dudes for control decks or perhaps the new \"smile at death\" enchantment to keep recurring in late game but season of the burrow, crafting bricks, playing full strength combat thresher, and chimil are all already good lately game choices and how you keep going in the late game.\n\nDon't be afraid to use clues if you don't have a smithy, getting the smithy and then getting the ways to turn it on is the priority order. You'll likely draw some artifacts on your way to smithy unless you bottom all your non lands with scrys and draw only lands but that's unlikely.\n"}]}
