Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Codie is not the commander of this deck. \nThis is a deck list for a custom commander which is going to be themed around books. Almost all of the cards, bar some lands, must either BE a book or contain a book. The definition of what a book is might get stretched a little. Like maps for basic lands. But everything will hopefully involve some sort of book like thing.\n"}]}
