Took inspiration from VN Muv-luv Alternative to build a commander deck that reflects the series' themes on pain, loss, perseverance, and true love.

This is a combat-focused esper deck that uses connive to curate a playable hand at all times and therefore does not run any tutors.

Low curve creatures present a suitable threat early game and is bolstered by +1/+1 counter theme and draw synergies.

Most interaction in this deck is ​geared toward protection and denying removal targeted at critical pieces.

Save in the name of true love.
