Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Alexios beat down. Reasonable win-rate at mid-power tables. Good opening hands destroy. Cast equipment early and use rituals to drop Alexios and equip all at once. Unblockable is king.\n\nPlaying this deck is basically doing your absolute best to give Alexios (your son) the best chance at life that you can manage, and then when you cast him he immediately moves out and only visits on holidays. It's nice to see how much he's grown but it almost feels like you aren't really involved in his life anymore and you have to be OK with that. Sometimes an economic recession hits (removal) and you have to let him move back in for a little bit. \n\nNot as good in mid-late game. Weak to removal.\n"}]}
