With how powerful threats are in this format, I feel like it is important to be more proactive. This deck looks to strain the opponent's removal with a lot of must answer threats while playing a lot of discard to ensure they can't enact their gameplan fully. I've only got a few games with this deck under my belt, so any suggestions are appreciated!
