{"ops":[{"insert":"This is Braids at 75%. I built this deck to be taken to any table and enjoy a game of EDH. It is meant to drop Braids and then steal, copy, or bounce anything worthwhile my opponents drop. There are some mean cards in here, but I likely will pull my punches unless I feel like the table is trying too hard.\n\nDeck inspired by Jumbo Commander: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/28-07-20-braids-commander-adept-copy/\n"}]}
