Description

{"ops":[{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"This is an Elf deck, but leaning into Lathril's voltron ability rather than simply the Elf creature synergies. This deck was designed for the new player experience, and I chose this route for a few reasons:"},{"insert":"\nCreature type synergies are some of the easiest to understand when you have limited gameplay experience. \nEngaging in creature combat is one of the backbones of the game, so learning how it works is an important starting point. \nElves tend to make lots of mana, so there is less of a chance of mana screw in your first one or more games. \nThe deck is leaning into all of Lathril's abilities, making it easy to grasp how the deck works after reading just the one card, and seeing it every turn in front of you. \n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Additionally, since it is a deck designed for newer players, I designed the deck to streamline the experience in the following ways:"},{"insert":"\nAside from the one card with Squad, there is only one kind of token created by the deck, so you won't need to track nuanced differences between token game pieces. \nThere should be little to no searching the deck involved, as that can be intimidating to new players. \nI included no double-faced cards or split cards. \nAll cards have reminder text for their abilities, with the exception of common keywords that don't have reminders for them printed anymore. \n"}]}
