Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"My friend group, or at least those of us that can, have picked out commanders in magic that share our names or at least close to them. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Alesha, Who Smiles at Death"}},{"insert":" is not my name but they have the word \"Smiles\" in it and my name is Miles. Therefore, they are my pick that is for me. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Desmond Miles"}},{"insert":" has since been released, but i find that card to be not as fun or iconic as Alesha so I'm sticking with it!\nThis has become a favorite of mine to play in recent months. I have definitely spent lots of time with this deck and have started optimizing and updating it every so often when I can afford to get some more cards. My aim is for it to be a fast paced deck with \"mean\" ETB effects tying to control my opponents. I have very few instants which may change but I do like just having lots of creatures to avoid having whiffs for any of my discard/sacrifice. It also is a neat deckbuilding restriction to try and find the best combination of creatures that get me the interaction I need\n"}]}
