Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck forgoes lots of draw in favor of just using Grenzo's ability as much as possible. Every use is like spending 2 mana to draw and cast a creature spell (if you hit a creature). You will likely want to hit Grenzo with any Backup triggers and use the ozilith to move them if he ever gets removed.\n"}]}
