Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"PREMISE: Salubrious Snail set up a deckbuilding challenge and I thought it'd be a fun idea to play along despite not being on their discord. Halsin was an option (with any background) so I thought about which tokens would pair best with being 4/4s and pests were the starting point!\n\nCOMMANDER: Halsin is key, sure, making tokens into 4/4s, but Scion bring us into golgari for value, mill and recursion.\n\nGAMEPLAN: Make tokens, make tokens bigger, play cautiously until you can push hard with aggro. Also Worm Harvest, I couldn't NOT play it, it's a huge resource engine.\n\nWEAKNESSES: SLOW. Very durdly and commander reliant. \n"}]}
