Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Here's my entry for the August deck building contest! The theme was to build a deck for a new player, so I immediately thought of the first deck I built.\n\nWe all know the best part of playing magic is when you're done assembling your army and get to swing in for big damage. Nobody facilitates swinging in better than Iroas. You can learn how to plan out attacks and trades later with another deck, this deck just reaps the rewards.\n\nTaking a closer look at that army, it's mainly token makers with a few big ol beaters. On the token side of things we have:"},{"attributes":{"background":"var(--light-background)","color":"var(--color)"},"insert":" Assemble the Legion, Darien, King of Kjeldor, Hero of Bladehold, Krenko Time Street Kingpin, and Leonin Warleader.

L"},{"attributes":{"background":"var(--light-background)","color":"var(--color)"},"insert":"ightmine Field and Ghostly Prison will reinforce your position while cards like True Conviction, Blade Historian, Kusari-Gama, and Legion Loyalist will help take your combat step over the top of whatever walls your opponents erect."},{"insert":"\n\nMeanwhile, Brave the Sands, Angelic Skirmisher, Archetype of Courage, Gisela, Blade.of Goodnight, and Archangel of Tithes help you out no matter what side of combat you're on!\n\n"},{"attributes":{"background":"var(--light-background)","color":"var(--color)"},"insert":"I didn't include any cards with too much text or rules that could be misconstrued, but I still think the removal, draw, and ramp packages are effective enough. There were a number of cards I love running in my own Iroas deck that I wasn't sure a new player would immediately take to, but I left them in the maybe board for consideration."},{"insert":"\n\nAll in all, I think if you handed this deck to new player (after explaining how devotion works) and they wanted to make it their own, there's plenty of directions they could go. Extra combats, more tokens, or even a soldier theme.\n\nThanks for reading!\n\nJoe\n\nP.S. - If someone manages to win in their first game with Chance for Glory they may as well stop playing magic. It's all downhill after that.\n"}]}
