Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"A deck that uses the GOAT super mutant Marcus as a commander. The goal of this deck is to utilize +1 /+1 counters to generate card advantage off of Marcus's ability. Lots of basic counters synergy, Proliferate, and outlets for card draw. Goal is to win with a big beefy board, trample, and card advantage. Simic Ascendancy is not in the deck only because my play group has us playing with no Alt Win cons for a bit. In any other case that would be in the deck. I also have a couple of creatures that can run away with the game in here (Kalonian Hydra) and some more budget alternatives to other cards. I like Marcus, I find him criminally underplayed. This is my first deck on here so feel free to provide feedback. I wanted a deck that was sub $200 so I still could still afford a few staples (Heroic Intervention, Ozolith, etc.), so for that I went budget in the Lands area. Honestly most of the cost is in the instances so I can probably go with some cheaper alternatives there, and if you know of some decent replacements to get the cost down please let me know!! , and with that this is the deck!\n"}]}
