KRESH! KRESH! BLOOD FOR THE BLOODBRAID!

The Kresh, just get big and stomp hard! Kresh was Commander #420 on EDHREC, and was doing something I rather liked, so I thought why not? I think this can be considered a deck rather than a WiP at this point, Kresh can get extremely out of hand extremely quickly, it is almost stunning sometimes how big he can get, and how little help beyond being big he needs to eek out wins. The mana situation seems more reasonable than I expected, and now that I've rounded the base out a bit (I lacked Golgari lands, still lacking an Overgrown Tomb, not sure if it's worth bothering with) it should work a fair bit better. In a deeply 'interesting' play I have removed a bunch of the worse fetching lands (the ones that can't be used as a colourless non-Basic), replacing them with Snow-Covered Basics, in the hopes of making my Field of the Dead a bit easier to use. We'll see if it's enough, I can still add some non-Basics, Forbidden Orchard comes to mind.

This deck has some tuning now, and is looking more efficient. It's an extremely fun deck so far, and with more upgrades on the menu I expect it to improve even more, but the fundamentals are such that it should never truly be a problem, it's not like Kresh comes with Hexproof, he's a very vulnerable, maybe even, you know, a weird little guy, explicitly nothing you need to worry about (also ignore that he's able to use Emmie as a scrunchie! IGNORE IT I SAY!)!
