Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Committing crimes and raising the dead. This deck snowballs fast after you play Gisa and get 1-2 easy crime cards like Hex Parasite or Withered Wretch. Your opponents will be powerless against the endless hordes of the dead swinging their way. This deck also strongly relies on Cabal Coffers for ramp and features cards like Urza's Cave and Expedition Map to get that card out. Besides Imp's Mischief, there's not a whole lot of protection for Gisa and you'll be relying on her Ward cost to dissuade removal, with that being said this deck is still formidable without Gisa and her removal shouldn't flatline you.\n\nCombos Include: Gravecrawler Shenanigans \nGravecrawler + Phyrexian Arena/Warren Soultrader + Blood Artist/Bastion of Remembrance. (Infinite Dmg/Life Gain)\nGravecrawler + Phyrexian Arena + Vengeful Dead. (Infinite Dmg)\nGravecrawler + Phyrexian Arena + Pitiless Plunderer. (Infinite Mana)\n\n\n"}]}
