Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"\"Is that a stormtide leviathan in your pocket or are you happy to see me?\"\n\nI've been obsessively tweaking and tuning this deck to be super fun to play and just grab cheap singles or reuse cards I got from draft boosters. It's a blast to play, super resilient to counter play. Generally can't be counterspelled as ninjutsu is considered an activated ability not casting a creature spell. So I oriented the deck towards aggro and using the creatures as removal or discard or recursion, etc. Lots of copying and blink of reusing cards frequently.\n\nGive this deck a try :)\n"}]}
