Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"The goal is to assemble a boardstate where you have some combination of creatures that A) are lured in some way, B) are protected in some way, and C) have some payoff for being blocked. You then proceed to sew these combinations of creatures together using Banding, and attack to generate value and damage. The Commander's vigilance anthem makes attacking safer, and her surveil anthem enables much of the deck's ramp. I have included a small recursion package as the four piece puzzle is rather fragile, as well as a small untap package to further utilize Tocasia's anthem; either of these packages are easily altered or removed without affecting the main engine.\n"}]}
