Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"You find a cactus in a desert, you punt it away, thinking nothing of it. It hits a passing desert mouse. The desert mouse takes 10000 damage and turns into a crimson splatter on the sands. You decide to take the cactus with you, to carry out further nefarious deeds.\n\nThere are 20 or so cards that interact specifically with a creatures power in this deck. The idea is to swing with the cactus and then do something silly with it while it still has +9999/+0. Yes you could build a deck with lots of evasion and win through combat but that is boring (it is still a wincon, because having a 10000/7 beater will always be a wincon). So here is a list of all the different things this deck can do with 10000 cactus power:\n\nMill someone for 10000\nDeal 10000 to all players but you\nDeal 10000 to all creatures\nDeal 10000 damage split as you choose among creatures\nMake 10000 saprolings\nMake 10000 rats\nMake 10000 maggots\nMake 10000 mana\nMake a 10000/10000 ooze\nMake a 10000/10000 elemental\nMake a 10000/10000 dinosaur\nFight something\nGain 10000 life\nFling for 10000 damage at someone\nHit someone for 10000 (roughly)\n\nbut what if...you gave the cactus anabolic steroids? Well there are also 11 cards that can effectively double (or more!) target cactus' power. So now you can do all of the above for 20000 or maybe even 40000 MAYBE EVEN MORE, WHO KNOWS, THE POSSIBILITIES OF SEVALA + EXPONENTIAL GROWTH IS UNFATHOMABLE!\n\nYes, there are 10 tutors in this deck, but honestly, its so cactus focused I can't see it being better than a 1 on the new bracket scale\n"}]}
