HowTo.Dek Show

This deck starts slow, looking to hit its land drops consistently and get Erebos out latest by t4. Once he's out, he's an indestructible enchantment for most of the game meant to trigger our sacrifice fodder into card draw. We're looking to keep the board clear with our edicts while we build land drops and mana stones, digging through the library to find our threats. This deck's goal is work the board state to where we can run Kokusho, the Evening Star and/or Gray Merchant of Asphodel with Chainer, Dementia Master or any other recursion piece we find.
