Deck Notes
The name of this deck is a little misleading, but the gameplay is straightforward enough. The deck wants to empty its own hand for value, while still generating constant threats. It’s a wheel deck in the truest form, and with Sheoldred, Atraxa, and Fable of the Mirror-Breaker, it does what it wants and does it well.
