{"ops":[{"insert":"A Challenge set upon me by my father who jokingly said I might turn his morph deck into an assassin hydra deck when he gave me his deck to edit. Little does he know that I would actually go on to make assassin-hydra-tribal possible but to be fair, this could work with most creature types because I'm just using the equality cards which make everything into a certain creature type (Would probably be better with goblins, elves etc. but idk).\n"}]}
