kombojoe 6 months{"ops":[{"insert":"Jon Irenicus, Shattered One in a deck I named \"I Know You're Hungy, Here You Go\". Essentially the idea is give my opponents my creatures and they are goaded and can't be sacrificed, but then I force them to sacrifice creatures. Additionally some of the creatures that I give them are not always the nicest to them. Creatures like \"Evil Eye of Orms-by-Gore\", \"Abyssal Persecutor\", and \"Archfiend of the Dross\" are in the deck. Every time I have played the deck, I get targeted hard for playing it.\n"}]}

bin_liftin 6 months{"ops":[{"insert":"Called Jeska's Ascension, this deck sticks as close to the lore of Jeska as possible while also adhering to the rules imposed by its companion Obosh the prey peircer. What that amounts to is basically an artifact synergy alphastrike build that can suddenly triple double face damage. Which means even something as small as 3 power can hit for 18 damage with no other modifications.
