The point of the deck is to try and grind out the opponent with two for ones and cheap, yet powerful removal spells. Voltage Surge is excellent at killing small and big creatures alike. We have all the solid card advantage cards in Kaito Shizuki, Fable of the Mirror-Breaker // Reflection of Kiki-Jiki, and Tenacious Underdog. The lack of Expressive Iteration was surprising, but the deck felt completely fine without it. All the cards that provide card advantage or filter in this deck are also bodies, which allows you to keep the pressure up. I loved played with Evelyn, the Covetous and Soul Transfer: such sweet and powerful cards. Corpse Appraiser is excellent at keeping the graveyard clean and works super well with Fable of the Mirror-Breaker. Overall awesome deck and I highly recommend it!
That's it for today, thanks for reading/watching!
