Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is a budget version of this deck, compromising CMC, speed. Based on my play testing, this budget version averages a possible infinite win condition on turn 6-9 instead of 4-7 (assuming no interaction, and playing prioritizing mana efficiently)... Effectively at cost of a win condition being 2 turns later, it's more than $100 cheaper. These numbers are very rough. Likely the normal version needs more persisters and sacrifice outlets.\n"},{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/2957085#Breath_of_the_Undying"},"insert":"https://archidekt.com/decks/2957085#Breath_of_the_Undying"},{"insert":"\n"}]}
