Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is very much meant to be a nod to the Soulsborne genre of games. The commanders are stand-ins for the protagonists in games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne. The gates subtheme not only helped fill out the landbase but also sets the scene as being more of an urban setting like in the games mentioned rather than out in the middle of nowhere.\n"}]}
