Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Kaervek can't even. And because of that, he gets to bring Obosh along for the ride.\n\nAt its heart, this wants to be a group slug deck, using Obosh to get extra-large hits out of Kaervek and much of his 99. It's got a side of storm and a dash of big mana, ramping hard into companion and commander to just start the world exploding. It's sure to cause chaos and likely to play out fairly effectively, stumbling into odd (in every sense) plays to pour on the damage.\n\nIf you want to redo this deck on a budget, it should be fairly easy since the spend is heavily concentrated. Redo the lands to your taste, and cut Ragavan, Wheel of Fortune, Vampiric Tutor, and Necropotence for your four favorite fitting cards (I'd recommend three draw pieces and Fire Covenant) and the cost drops dramatically.\n"}]}
