Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Kill them literally as fast as possible or you lose. Originally I just put in a bunch of 0 costs, but that's honestly so boring. There's at least some other interesting cards here now, but you still should be able to draw enough 0/1/2 costs to cast thrasta by turn 3, maybe even turn 2 if you're lucky. The card draw in this deck isn't too bad if you don't get unlucky. Once again the one ring saves the day. Your aim should be to put some decent equipment on thrasta and hit the opponents while they don't have powerful creatures on the board. She can get pretty difficult to cast later on with the commander tax, but fortunately first-turn-hexproof makes her immune to removal spells that turn. Note: she is not immune to counterspells, since hexproof only applies if she"},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":" entered the battlefield"},{"insert":" this turn, not if she is cast this turn.\n"}]}
