Also, all cards in this deck lack any way of accelerating the end of the game. Even if one were to try their hardest, the only way for anyone who plays this deck to end the game is through beating people down one commander damage at a time (or with a Drannith Magistrate that will have no form of evasion).\n\nThis deck is a true slog for any and all players involved. The only players who will derive any joy from playing this deck are those who relish in the pain and suffering of others. If you are like myself and have ADHD, NEVER try to play this deck, it will not end well.\n"}]}

PieAlamode 2 months{"ops":[{"insert":"When I read the prompt for this month, I knew it was time to finally properly brew a USA themed deck. "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://www.archidekt.com/decks/9090534/this_is_america"},"insert":"This is America"},{"insert":" is a deck focused on effectively saying \"do you pay the __\" every time your opponents do any game action. Cast a spell, draw a card, attack, block, whatever it is I'm gonna make you pay something. While the deck focuses on taxing opponents, there are also subthemes of treasure and land destruction to emphasize America's history of capitalism, colonization, and destroying the environment. For the commander, I originally thought I would use Akim and have a larger focus on birds to represent the Bald Eagle, but Numot, the Devastator just seemed so much more annoying. However, Gwaihir, Greatest of Eagles is still included for the flavor. The deck is rounded out by a few stax pieces and random cards with the word \"tax\" in them. Pretty much every card has some reference to America whether it be by mechanic or flavor; even the basics are from New Capenna. I also made sure to include at least one card with \"Amass\" so the army could be represented. Just like America, you'll either tax your opponents to death and win with commander damage, or ruin everyone's day with relentless politicking. It truly is the American dream.\n"}]}
