Are you sick of the same old boring aggro decks? The same old boring midrange decks? Tired of thinking about decisions? Well not anymore! Introducing the Brain in a Jar! Never think about anything again. Let the brain do the thinking for you! Simply kill anything that the opponent tries to put out, gain life for doing that, and then when you get bored use a Seasons Past and let the fun begin again!
The meanest deck around. Kill all the things, gain all the life, repeat.
