Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"A lot of Kelsien decks can feel oppressive with deathtouch/untap support. This is a deck that focuses on proliferating experience counters so that various other experience dependent legendary creatures can benefit. Since there's a proliferation theme I also included planeswalkers and very minor poison support backed by All Will Be One as other ways to close out the game. \n"}]}
