IGoByGrant 2 years{"ops":[{"insert":"Hello! I would like to participate in the Companion Deck Building Contest! Here is the deck I've constructed: https://archidekt.com/decks/2405490#On_All_Fours. It's a white green hatebears deck with Yasharn, Implacable Earth as it's commander and Kaheera, the Orphanguard as it's companion. The main focus on this deck is to get out mana ASAP, play some big cards that benefit off each other and hopefully overwhelm my opponents. Although if all else false, there are cards that reduce the amount of cards that can be played as well as prevents certain cards from being played or their abilities being activated, which allows my giant creatures to overpower the battlefield with no interruptions. An added spice of flavor to the deck is that all creature cards walk on 4 legs! You can contact me via email by igobygrant20@gmail.com. I had a blast making this deck and hope to whoever looks at it enjoys it!"},{"attributes":{"header":4},"insert":"\n"}]}

MrPlague 2 years{"ops":[{"insert":"https://archidekt.com/decks/2325040#Search_for_Blex\n\nSo this deck is built with Blex as the commander but you'll never cast him on the creature side. Why would you when you're naming sorcery off of Umori? Yeah this is an oops all sorceries Umori deck! Creature tokens made by sorceries and sorcery speed kill spells defend you while you use sorcery speed speed draws to eventually dig up an exsanguinate or torment of hellfire to drain out your opponents fora win. Or you can just smash face with a bunch of elephant tokens which is cool too. There's plenty of recursion in here to get Umori back to hand if he gets killed to get that sweet sweet cost reduction or you can grab exsanguinate again for the lolz! I have a lot of fun with this deck and it's fun to see work especially because you have no counters or instant speed reactions.... Don't worry about it too much\n"}]}
