EXTRA COMBATS BRUCE

---

Tymna seemed the most natural fit, black is a solid color, she's also a bit of an engine, more cards early is more pressure later.

Most the creatures/spells are chosen to play nicely with extra combats and/or bruse. Bishop of Binding gives some nice control but also +stats till end of turn which double up during an extra combat, same with Adriana, Captain of the Guard and Fervent Charge . If you attack with Vona, Butcher of Magan then tap to exile, if you get another combat she untaps and can exile a 2nd thing.

The curve has been solid, I've worked out most of the kinks in pacing, just looking to swap out a few of the less reliable creatures ( Necropolis Regent King Macar, the Gold-Cursed Hellkite Charger Cyclops Gladiator ) maybe work on the removal or evasion.

I purposely avoided some EDH staples to keep the power level a lil lower for my playgroup.
