Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"[DISCLAIMER]\n1. This deck is not intended to be a combodeck. On the opposit as there a more than enough combo decks with Ghave, this one trys to stay as combo free as possible.\n\n2. As a theme we try only to use saprolings as token. Yes, the deck in its maintheme maybe more efficient when using other consistent token generator's but theme is theme. You can find cards which might optimize the deck further while breaking the saproling theme in the maybeboard.\n\n[GOAL]\nAs the name of the Deck might give away, the maintheme of this deck is to control the board with sacrificing our own saprolings to force our opponents to sacrifice their creatures while we pursue our wincon with pining them for every dying creature.\n\nOne last thing before we begin im not going to explain stapel ramp cards.\n\nSo how and with which cards do we archive that?\n\nFirst we need something to sacrifice and a sacrifice outlet. Luckily all our thallids do at least one and most of them do both. \n\nOk, so we have some slow token producers an some sacrifice outlets next we need either a part of our wincon or a control piece and something which speeds our token generation up.\n\n\n\n\n"}]}
