Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Do you wanna play a midrange deck with a possible combo finish? Then you're at the right place! Grim captain plays a grindy game with small threats like preacher and sentinel while trying to fill the grave with explore and the throne itself. Once we assemble the 4 creature types in the grave/field, its time to craft the Captain! And this is where the combo comes in. If you have Corpses of the Lost on the field and crafted the Captain with Voldaren Thrillseeker then you're ready to pull it off. Swing with the Captain with an open mana, using its trigger put Thrillseeker onto the battlefield, using Thrillseeker's backup ability put the counters on Captain. It will now be a 10/9 and have Thrillseeker's fling ability. After Captain connects for 10 combat damage use your open mana to fling it at your opponent for another 10 damage killing them in one turn!\n"}]}
