Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"The goal of the deck is to fill everyones' graveyards then utilize your commander's ability to pull the best targets out onto your battlefield, preferably at instant speed. The deck has minimal pure draw effects and instead relies on symmetrical wheel effects and draw-discard effects in order to have cards pass through your hand while also filling graveyards. This deck usually wins through overwhelming your opponents with their own creatures through combat (sometimes with the help of Dragon Throne of Tarkir) or by draining your opponents with a combination of Gary, Syr Konrad, and Scarab God's upkeep trigger. Late-game Rise of the Dark Realms with full yards (made uncounterable with Boseiju or protected with your own counterspell backup) often wins games with various combinations of ETB triggers.\n"}]}
