Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is a deck built for the June 2024 deck-building contest! The theme of this deck is Bear Necessities. The deck's goal is to STAX out the table and slow the game down, striping decks and letting players only play the 'bear necessities' of the game. The goal is to get the King onto the board and out value in combat. With value engines and Moraug, slowing the game down is the way to win! The idea is that Baloo was a slow, easy-going character, and this deck embodies that attitude. With few methods of protecting the STAX pieces, they aren't here to stay. Find your opening and swing in with an overwhelming bear army.\n"}]}
