Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This brew is cooked around the Legendary Blackblade and those that have wielded it in Magic's lore: Dakkon Blackblade, the edgiest of Edgelords, as well as the Giga-Chad himself: Gideon. As a side quest, I've also tried to put in as many cards with art by Richard Kane Ferguson as is reasonable. While I do have a full set of the RKF tutors and a Force of Will, I prefer to keep my tutors light and FoW isn't great for this deck. There are a handful of other cards that didn't make the cut due to not synergizing with the brew. Or just being straight up bad. Sometimes even RKF's badass metal art can't save a card ... \n\nInstead of trying to force the idea of an Esper landfall deck, I figured I'd try leaning into what Esper likes the most: Artifacts. Equipment in particular so we can suit up Dakkon with a bunch of swords and protective gear to swing in and bop opponents. We are running a suite of swords to get our voltron-bois past the defensive line and into the opponents' tender bits (figuratively; don't go after the pod's tender bits. They most likely won't have you back for any future games. And it's rude ... ). \n\nSo the plan is pretty straight forward, the flavor has been presented; it's time to show the pod just how edgy dumpy old Magic lore can be!\n"}]}
