Deck Notes
This fits the standard recipe for a Crashing Footfalls deck, but it does a lot more with the Evoke mechanic. Most of this deck is going to end up in exile, but that’s ok because it means you’ll get most of your scary stuff for a reduced cost, like the titular Crashing Footfalls or Become Immense. By the time your opponent can capitalize on your deck going missing, they’ll already be done.
