Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"A casual graveyard-based deck, built around discarding creatures (or other cards) to get value, such as dungeon triggers, tokens, drain, card advantage, etc. An upgrade to the Dungeons of Death Precon.\n\nStrategy: ramp a bit, play your commander, set up a repeatable looter/discard outlet, start filling the yard and get dungeon triggers until you can reanimate them with Sefris's ability.\n\nFrom my playtesting, Lost Mine of Phandelver is a good go-to dungeon, as it provides consistent ramp, card advantage, and drain. While not as fast as Tomb of Annihilation, you will be in a much better spot after Lost Mine. Dungeon of the Mad Mage usually takes too long if you have some good reanimation targets in the yard.\n\nDo note that the maybeboard acts as a wishlist, I am a frugal guy.\n\nIf you have any suggestions for the deck please make a comment. I'd appreciate the help!\n"}]}
