Deck Notes
This is a deck that wants to cast as many spells as possible…and not just your own. Ragavan comes out early to deal some early damage, making treasures and stealing spells, and the Ledger Shredders connive to fill your hand, fuel your graveyard, and buff up. Once your graveyard is full, you can delve for the Murktide Regent or get the Delerium buff for Dragon’s Rage Channeler. Regardless of what happens, you’ve got the Red to deal damage and the Blue to slow down your opponent.
MTG is ever-changing, with new busted and broken cards rising to the top. Check back in next week for the upcoming top deck.
