Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"PREMISE: Plagon recently (Jan '25) popped up as a dark horse in a big CEDH tournament, and as much as I hate the little bugger the idea of it stuck with me, and it's easy to see how to do it more casually on a budget!\n\nCOMMANDER: Plagon is the draw engine -- Cast it, flicker/bounce it, draw a bunch of cards, ???, profit!\n\nGAMEPLAN: On a micro-budget, we don't have access to Thassa's Oracle, so we have to look to good ol' Lab Man and even Triskit as alternative means of winning the game. The absolute fallback is to investigate a bunch and slam down Tanglekelp Grove and beat face.\n\nWEAKNESSES: Yes, the CEDH tag is on, but this isn't CEDH, clearly. It's heavily reliant on Plagon being able to do it's thing and hoping you can hit a wincon.\n"}]}
