Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"I affectionately call this deck \"The Cockroach.\" While it might not look like much, the high to low mix of the CMC costs are important to the survivability of this list. Cards like Disciple of the Sun and Pillardrop Rescuer serve as the top of the cascade (5 gets a 4, gets a 3, gets a 2, etc) and allow Orah to survive board wipes easily. Wincons include everything from swinging face, to torment, to using your life or the Wanderer/Command the Dreadhorde combo to reanimate your opponents creatures. \n\nMost recently the aforementioned combo allowed me to eat a Craterhoof attack (Selfless Spirit + a ton of life + Children of Korlis) to then Reanimate their hoof and bash them in the face with it.\n\n Overall a great list. \n"}]}
