VariableGames 2 years{"ops":[{"insert":"Submission Deck - "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/2507083#Submission"},"insert":"https://archidekt.com/decks/2507083#Submission"},{"insert":"\n\nThis deck is centered around shrines. Pretty much, every time a shrine card enters the battlefield, the commander creates a 1/1 shrine token. In the deck there are a lot of legendary shrine cards, land and enchantments. The aim of these enchantments is to either increase the amount of tokens gained or allow me to search my library for a specific card. There are two cards in here that prevent opponents from doing anything to the shrines, asceticism and curator's ward. The thought process behind this is - play asceticism and then enchant it with curators ward to try and keep it on the field. In the event this fails - I have added multiple cards that allow me to play cards from my graveyard. Among these is Primeval's Glorious Rebirth, as stated earlier, this deck has a lot of legendaries in it. Primeval's Glorious Rebirth allows me to return all legendary permanents straight to the graveyard, which would proc the commander to place more tokens on the field. Once adequate tokens have been created, there are tons of cards that have effects based on the number or shrines on the field. My personal favorite is Sanctum of Stone Fangs, heal X where X is the amount of shrines you control. There are two cards in my deck that allow me to create X 1/1 spirit tokens where X is the number of shrines I control. On top of this, there are 2 permanents that double the amount of health gained. On top of this, there is Sanguine Bond, pretty much, opponent loses X health where X is the amount of health I gain. That's 1 opponent down. Now, in that same turn, I can use Go Shintai of Lost Wisdom to mill a player to death, player mills X cards where X is the amount of shrines I control. That's 2 opponents down. In this same turn I can use Go Shintai of Ancient Wars to deal X damage to target player where X is the amount of shrines I control. That's 3 opponents down. In that same turn, I can use Honden of Infinite Rage to deal X damage to target player where X is the amount of shrines I control. That's 4 opponents down. As stated previously, there are 2 cards that make a lot of 1/1 spirit tokens, full swing at an opponents and they won't be able to do anything about it due to the sheer amount of tokens there are. That's 5 opponents down. Now, there is a card named Go Shintai of Boundless Vigor, pretty much, put X 1/1 counters on target shrine where X is the amount of shrines I control on target shrine. Put these counters on Go Shintai of Boundless Vigor and combine it with the trample already on this card, take a swing and they cannot do anything about due to the sheer about of damage coming their way. That's 6 opponents down. Finally, I can full swing with my shrine tokens and the opponent will not be able to do anything due to the amount of shrines coming their way. That's 7 opponents down in one turn. That's not even considering the other cards with counter gimmicks.\n"}]}

jordanmh 2 years{"ops":[{"insert":"https://archidekt.com/decks/1309843#Najeela,_Almost_There\n\nI'm sure you've seen her before but, as far as combos go, this one is pretty straight forward. Get Najeela, the Blade Blossom out, get Druids' Repository, Nature's Will or Derevi, Empyrial Tactician out and create infinite 1/1 white Warrior creature tokens to go along with your infinite attack steps. With a sub 2 mana curve and plenty of mana dorks, this combo is fairly consistent and easy to assemble. Plenty of removal and protection makes this Najeela, the Blade Blossom deck incredibly quick and incredibly powerful. Could there be faster mana rocks? Sure. I hate even having Jeweled Lotus in there but it serves its purpose.\n"}]}

AveryTheTiger 2 years{"ops":[{"insert":"https://archidekt.com/decks/2505448#Mutually_Assured_Destruction\n\nHidetsugu has a crazy, unique ability, but it was carefully designed not to kill anybody outright. We're going to fix that with every mono-red damage multiplier we can find. Once he's dealing double damage, he'll outright kill any player he touches at an even life total, and take anyone at an odd life total to 1. We're going to fix those odd life totals with ping effects to deal that last little bit of damage. \"But doesn't that include killing ourselves?\" Sometimes yes, depending on which multiplier effect is in play. That's why we've included several ways to give him lifelink to keep ourselves safe, because if we can't, it's mutually assured destruction.\n"}]}
