Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Just wave after wave of Relentless Rats hitting the opponents' faces! Asmodeus is not the typical commander for this kinda thing, but I read an article featuring the using of the draw ability and while it's on the stack, using Village Rites to not actually exile the cards. But since it is Black, throwing life down the drain for advantage can always be fun too! I also enjoy the simplicity of not having to figure out which creature to run/play throughout the game(s). Gary and Exsanguinate are also solid in here as well.\n"}]}
