Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Group Slug"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nDo you enjoy faster paced games and you don't particularly care to politic? If yes, then this might be the deck for you. The opposite of group hug, this deck is looking to deal damage to everyone but hopefully more to only the opponents to provide an incremental lead. With a mixture of symmetrical and asymmetrical effects attached to permanents that trigger every turn or just when someone takes a game action, this deck will bring games to an end sooner rather than later. A big learning point for this deck is to make sure that the damage effects aren't so egregious that you become the target and if there's a only one way to politic with this strategy, it's to reassure everyone that the damage will bring opponents life totals to a more achievable range for their opponents to be knocked out. Normally this deck wins by happenstance with recurring damage and small chip-ins for combat damage, but the minotaur sub-theme is an actual toolbox wincon. Deathbellow War Cry in the late game can pull out a combination of 4 different minotaurs that easily can knockout low life total opponents, either through noncombat damage with Fanatic of Mogis or a combination of lords that can get in for surprise damage.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Wife's 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.
