This initially started as another deck idea, but then I remembered [Fury Storm] exists and so the list was redone with a competitive take. \n\nThe goal of the deck is quite simple - ramp out Ral and then ramp out Fury Storm to win. We're protecting the planeswalker as best we can with various counter spells, and we play lots of wheel and draw so we can find protection and ramp. Again, this is a competitive list that can be made better with some extremely expensive cards, and which may not be to everyone's liking. However, I wanted to show some of the very powerful things that are capable in Oathbreaker.\n\nEnjoy!\n\n\n"}]}
