Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"I have made many Golgari decks in my 12 years of playing Magic: The Gathering. It dawned on me that I had never made a Golgari Storm Deck. This is my outlook on what I believe a Golgari Storm deck should be. We are already getting access to some of the best tutors, removal, and reanimation that Magic The Gathering has to offer with being in Golgari. Add in cards like Endurance, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, and Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre plus cards like Entomb and Plunge into Darkness. All of those instant and sorcery spells we have cast can be used again and again. Sensei's Divining Top is probably one of the best cards in Magic the gathering for top deck manipulation. Alongside a Bolas's Citadel, you can constantly manipulate the top of your deck. The win-con for this deck, well there are several. The most obvious being Bolas's Citadel plus Aetherflux Reservoir and Sensei's Divining Top. Cast Sensei, however, a hundred times to build up your life total and just shoot the entire table. There is also the option of beating your opponents down with an army of squirrels thanks to Chatterstorm and Finale of Devastation plus Gaea's Cradle. Exiling your opponent's entire library with Bitter Ordeal is also a route you can take. \n\n"}]}
