Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Cast sagas, they do their thing for a few turns, and then they deal damage to your opponents when they’re done. There are a few cards you can use to add lore counters to your sagas to finish them quicker and deal that damage sooner.\nSacking your sagas draws cards too, as does sacking other enchantments. Added some enchantments that sack themselves and other cards such as Braids that allow you to sack enchantments. \nNice flavor and probably the most functional saga commander. \n\nThe alt win con is Excalibur, since sagas are luckily historic. \nAnother is Vraska’s ultimate, if it even gets to that point. \n"}]}
