Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Draw cards and be an oppressive, unbearable force. There are tons of win conditions—Praetors, dump your hand, overwhelm with tokens, and many more—every game is different and fun. Mainly built the deck with cards I had lying around because I thought the commander was super cool. It's a little weird, but you get the commander out turn 4 or 5 (sometimes 3), then build a little engine, by turn 6 or 7 you are hopefully set up very well. The commander really only exists to make tokens and, in a pinch, draw cards. \n\nIf you wanted to make it better just add more control ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Grand Arbiter Augustin IV"}},{"insert":") and aristocrats ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Psychosis Crawler"}},{"insert":" ), removing the splashy high end cards ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Omniscience"}},{"insert":", etc). I built it to be fun and fresh—it's still very very powerful, but not as much as it could be.\n"}]}
