Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Deck is built with three commanders, each one focusing on a specific theme in the deck, and each theme getting 16 card slots dedicated to it with 15 general black cards to round out the experience. While I did my best to overlap the themes as much as possible to build synergy, the decks power level is fairly mid-lower mid due to pulling in so many different directions at times. \n\nAs far as win con's go, it's fairly straightforward to kill opponents via drain w/Aristocrats or Draw/Wheels. While the Reanimator theme can win off combat damage if your opponents have good enough creatures in GY's to bring back, it's usually simpler to find GARY and drop him as many times as possible.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"background":"var(--light-background)","color":"var(--color)"},"insert":"Sheoldred, Whispering One - Reanimator"},{"insert":"\nSheoldred, the Apocalypse - Draw/Wheels\nDrivnod, the Carnage Dominus - Aristocrats\n\nSuggestions for deck edits/cards to try to better synergize the themes would be greatly appreciated. Especially those that also fit into the overarching Phyrexian theme on the deck. Thanks for looking! Glory to Phyrexia, all will be one!\n"}]}
