Understanding the Deck

pillows
, such as Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs and Sandwurm Convergence, which are defensive cards used to somehow prevent this stimulus from being used against you; although I see the deck using the tokens to keep enemy attacks away than these cards. The precon also offers a simple amount ofhugs
โ symmetrical or non-symmetrical cards, which can serve to help other players.

Changes & Upgrades
One important thing to remember:
Precons are designed to be entry decks, not the best possible choices for their respective themes and/or archetypes. So, even if a particular deck package can be completely replaced with better cards that are available, there's not much point in doing so. If your goal when purchasing the precon is to play with it, then ideally you just need to make some adjustments to make it look a bit better or give it your personal touch... Otherwise, it's more recommended to buy the singles separately and build the deck from scratch, or even build an entirely different deck.Ad

Chaos
These cards are in charge of making the deck more fun and sophisticated, getting away from that linear thing of just making as many creatures as possible and hitting with them. I would increase the presence of these cards that force opponents to attack each other and invest more in precon's political footprint. Cards like Marisi, Breaker of the Coil, Disrupt Decorum, Geode Rager, Vengeful Ancestor, Goblin Spymaster and Fumiko the Lowblood are interesting. I would also beef up the deck with some gimmicks to ensure opponents have creatures to stomp on, like Varchild, Betrayer of Kjeldor, Combat Calligrapher, Tahngarth, First Mate and Assault Suit. Obviously, there's no room for all these cards because there would be nothing to take away, so you'd have to decide on what deserves to stay or enter. I would do it like this:IN:

Pumps and Combat Tricks
The pumps present in the precon โ like the ones mentioned above โ are the deck's main winconditions, and that's enough. However, considering the fact that this is a very creature-dependent deck, I find it interesting to consider some protections for the board, such as Heroic Intervention, Rootborn Defenses and Unbreakable Formation. In addition, we can also consider effects that untap creatures that can synergize with our commander and with parts like Prosperous Partnership and Selvala, Explorer Returned. The most rated for this in my opinion are cards like Seedborn Muse, Drumbellower, Quest for Renewal, Curse of Bounty, Nature's Will and Wilderness Reclamation.Ad
