Darwin is right about the fact that Natural Selection leaves what remains well suited to its ecosystem, but man is it slow. So we are just going to be speeding it along, helping all the organisms that wish to become...compleat.

Edit: I originally made this sometime in early 2019, and then made the decklist here later that year. This deck, in this ...iteration? Wasnt modified in the slightest between then and 2024. It has been taken apart now. I definitely enjoyed playing it, and had many hilarious moments with the "bad" cards. Like seriously? Random fog effect! Counter spell that only counters sorceries! (Which did once get played against a dragon's approach deck unintentionally!) A 27/27 momir getting into the red zone! It....just wasn't quite stable enough to stay "competitive" in the era of commander in 2022. Let alone 2024/2025.

I've since had to redo sorting my collection, and realized I should've updated this.

I'll probably build another ezuri, so expect this list to stick around for comparison reasons.
