Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Learn EDH with Syr Konrad and win through constant death\n\nWith Syr Konrad, the difference between life and death is academic. Your creatures like to die, or like it when other creatures of yours die... and you also have plenty of tools to recycle the dead and get them back to the battlefield. This will allow you to reuse abilities that require sacrifice or occur on death, and in the meantime Konrad himself will get your opponents coming and going. To help secure its win, the deck features a number of broad killing pieces, allowing you to eliminate swaths of opposing forces. When it comes to creatures that live, die, and live again, Gray Merchant of Asphodel bears special note, as its drain effect adds up quickly to kill foes and make you realtively untouchable, and finding ways to kill and revive it multiple times is often an excellent road to victory.\n\nCost without basics at the time of creation: $39.62\n"}]}
