Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"With the current state of commander its not uncommon for more veteran players to not have a lot of expendable creatures laying around. This deck punishes that common mindset in the beginner friendly (and beginner loved) way of 'big creature go brrr'. Make Sarevok as big as possible for big combat steps AND punishing players unwilling (or unable) to get rid of something during their turn. \n"}]}
