Deck Primer

With the arrival of the Parodox Rift set, there are arguably 10 meta decks that dominate tournaments, here is the account of the fourth.

With Iron Hands and superior energy retrieval this deck got a MASSIVE upgrade. It still is quite slow and incredibly weak to Toedscruel, but that does not have a consistent play.

Hope you have fun!
