Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"\"The good don't sit and wait for the evil to act. They prepare to defend. They prepare to punish.\"\n\nA White Weenies and Pillowfort Deck with some Gideon tribal effects for flavor, this deck was originally designed for a Gatewatch vs. Nicol Bolas Archenemy-style game. The main strategy is to utilize cheap creatures and enchantments to increase the cost of spells and make it difficult for enemies to attack me and my Gideon planeswalkers. Meanwhile, I use an assortment of anthems to empower my creatures - specifically the various Gideons - and punch opponents in the face.\n\nThe relatively low converted mana costs of the spells allows me to overcome the slowness of monowhite in Commander, while cards like "},{"attributes":{"color":"#187dd4"},"insert":"Master of Ceremonies"},{"insert":" and "},{"attributes":{"color":"#187dd4"},"insert":"Bygone Bishop"},{"insert":" do help with some card advantage. White's relative slowness is overcome by sharing the love with other colors, adding taxes and limiting how many cards other people can draw so that they can't rocket ahead.\n"}]}
