Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Saga Manipulation"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nDo you enjoy taking game actions and fiddling with permanents? If yes, then this might be the deck for you. A little bit of enchantress, a little bit of flickering, and a whole lot of sagas. The whole goal is to play sagas and remove counters by flickering them or removing individual counters to repeat the best chapters. Within the Esper color identity the most desirable saga effects tend to be removal, draw, and token generation. With those primary focuses as reusable effects it lays a strong foundation for a control strategy. Sharuum as the commander is mostly to recur the valueable artifacts that help manipulate counters on sagas or worse case can reanimate a ramp source. As per the colors it is in, the deck is a fun take on control that wins by grinding out value and creating a small army of tokens. Even though running five-color sagas would more likely than not be stronger, I think sticking to only three colors allows room for a more defined strategy. Rather than playing a generic enchantment focused deck. \n\n2022 thru 2023 the commander was Sen Triplets.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Stats (Updated January 2025)"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"2025:\tGames Won- 0\n\t\t\t\tGames Played- 0\n\t\t\t\tWin Percentage- 0%\n\t\t\t\tAvg.
