Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is pretty simple:\n\n1) Learn how to say his name correctly if you're uncultured like me\n2) Play Basim turn 2\n3) Play *ONE* equipment/artifact per turn to proc him and hit who think deserves it\n4) Hold up counters and gotchas to protect Basim/yourself\n5) Mid game equip him up and one shot someone\n\nMost of these kind of tempo control voltron decks always have the cheap 1 mana counters and Runechanter's Pike or Glamdring. No one in my pods respect it. Sometimes I have the instants in my GY and i keep it in my hand to one shot out of nowhere. Or, sometimes I play it early and Ill a bunch of instants and sorceries, along tainted strike to one shot!\n\nIf you can't handle the guilt of taking someone out early, this isn't the deck for you! And if you're good enough this deck CAN be competitive for 1st (not competitive in cEDH at all)\n"}]}
