Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck is built to combo with Presence of Gond and any one of five creatures that untap when you gain life (2), when a creature ETBs (2), or when a creature dies (1). There are several cards that gain life when a creature ETBs or cause creatures to die when they ETB to ensure that the combo will always trigger regardless of which creature is equipped. Instead of combat, this deck wins by combining death triggers with cards that give all creatures -1/-1 so that the infinite tokens die & drain opponents out of the game. A robust tutor package ensures that the deck can find the combo consistently while a similarly strong recursion package allows the deck to bounce back from interaction, including exile effects. Rounding out the deck is some ramp, card draw, and removal to keep the deck churning and the table clear until it's time to go for the win.\n"}]}
