theres a bunch of crazy cards in this that are gonna rotate at the end of the year and i wanna get all the value i can out of them while theyre around
between jace, the empurror, the shark, and the punch lands, this deck has four diffurent ways to kill the opponent, and they often require diffurent answers, and theyre all powerful enough individually they dont need to all work together. a lot of games that ive won, they successfully answered 2 or 3 of those then the last one killed them
and with the sheer power of the kamigawa legendary lands and the ixalan punch lands, i can afford to run a juicy 26 land manabase. i could go as high as 27 if i had a few copies of mirrex
