Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This isn't a typical cEDH deck. This deck is designed to take advantage of heavy midrange metas where card draw and value are dominating. The deck includes many of your cEDH staples in temur, Thassa's, Breach, Rhystic, counter magic, etc. The deck has some atypical cards designed to take advantage of having lots of bodies entering and attacking with Impact Tremors, Goblin Bombardment, Edric Spymaster of Trest, Shared Animosity and Triumph of the Hordes. While good for midrange metas, the deck is by no means fast, with speed similar to a high power casual deck.\n\nFor strategy, prioritize getting Xyris out early as the deck will thrive with lots of bodies. Xyris' card draw abilities makes cards advantage in your opening hand not as critical. Protecting the commander is very important so high interaction openers are great to keep. Always attack with Xyris as well as with as many snakes as possible. Pressuring life totals is the name of the game.\n"}]}
