Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"PREMISE: Golgari have the best backgrounds, and V/G can benefit extra as a partner pair.\n\nCOMMANDER/S: V/G are a big aggro package, all about making it through and beating face.\n\nGAMEPLAN: Ramp, search for backgrounds, push for damage. Ideally, both Virtus and Gorm are Raised by Giants and hit for 20, but even HArdy Outlander or Cultist of The Absolute makes things get scary quick!\n\nWEAKNESSES: Commander focus, otherwise just a synergistic deck built around recursion and counters.\n"}]}
