{"ops":[{"insert":"Me and some friends have been getting back into magic the last few months and I've been trying to up my game with custom deck building. They generally use precons and I've generally been losing against them but I've been getting better and better at making custom decks and catching up to them. I just made a new deck around Ria Ivor and i've been loving this deck so far and the fight it puts up. I tweaked it a bit andthis is my most recent version I have yet to try https://archidekt.com/decks/9914607/ria_ivor \n\nCan give second opinion on it? what cards might I need? what cards should i get rid of?\nHere's my collection for what options I have available. \nhttps://archidekt.com/collection/v2/521139?collectionGame=1\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Yeah, I managed to get some playing in last Friday with this deck and it showed me a few things. I FORGOT TO ADD A FIELD WIPE. I meant to add "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Decree of Pain"}},{"insert":" to the deck and some guy managed to make 46 Peguses tokens and all I could do was watch and suffer. I'll probably be adding "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Archfiend of Depravity"}},{"insert":" as well just as a bit of insurance.\n\nI don't really have a lot of methods for First-Strikers as I'm mostly focusing on hitting the player with flyers to trigger "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ria Ivor, Bane of Bladehold"}},{"insert":"'s ability. To that end I may also add "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Herald of Torment"}},{"insert":". Also, don't I have to hit the player and not just their creature right to trigger Ria's ability right?\n\nThis last game day for some reason I also could. not. draw. cards. and got stuck floundering with 1 card per turn. So I will definitely be adding "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Morbid Opportunist"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Feed the Infection"}},{"insert":" , and maybe "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Braids, Arisen Nightmare"}},{"insert":" as well.\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Arcbound Condor"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Arcbound Crusher"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Invasion of New Capenna // Holy Frazzle-Cannon"}},{"insert":" These look like very fun cards. I think I would definitely add the Arcbound cards if I were able.\n\nI like how my lands give me additional options other than the fact that they do come in tapped so maybe I'll swap them out for basics. Otherwise I think your other replacement suggestions are pretty solid as well considering I'll need the space for the other cards. I wonder though. If I exchange them for more repeating draw cards... can I get away with having less land as a result? Since I will be drawing more cards and ergo more likely to get mana rocks and land as a result?\n"}]}
