Comrade, that is OUR spell now! There is no me in USSR, only US!

In the words of our great intellectual Karl Marx, the means of production should not be owned by a small group of people, but instead they should belong to the collectivity.

This is why I set out to create a deck that doesn't care about ownership, as long as nobody touches your stuff!

Comrade Andres is here to show you how to seize the means of production from those capitalist pigs (your opponents), and use them for the betterment of society (winning a game).

Now, a couple of words of advice from comrade Dimitri:

EVERYONE can be a communist

Remember comrade, in the words of our great father Lenin, EVERYONE can be a communist. In the game this is reflected by Comrade Andres' first ability: each creature that joins the USSR (you control but don't own) becomes a communist (pirate) in addition to its other types. This sinergises really well with comrade Brass, emissary comrade Vlad, and head of foreign affairs comrade DePietro, knowing this he can send a KGB biological weapon that only affect capitalist pigs

the redistribution of wealth

By seizing the means of production (casting noncreature spells) of capitalist pigs (that you don't own), you will make the motherland and Comrade Andres very happy, BUT understanding the best and most equal way to distribute this newfound wealth (two treasure tokens) is difficult and takes time (they enter tapped).

Defeating the capitalist propaganda

Defeating the capitalist propaganda is very difficult, but possible with a clear plan: first the propaganda that is fed to the people of capitalist countries must be undermined, then, once those people stop believing it or start doubting it, sweep in with propaganda of our own, that is designed to appeal to people fed up with capitalist propaganda. For the first part of this plan our trusted heads of KGB think that the best approach is to both destroy comodities and bring down leaders of capitalist people. For this specific role, a KGB hit squad was designed and instructed to Terminate, experiment on, drug, and torture their target to get the job done. In the meanwhile, head of foreign affairs comrade DePietro will deploy his entire team of emissaries, scholars, and journalists to convince those capitalist people that their economic landscape is unjust and should stop existing, all while also organising worker's strikes. At this point, our expert journalism team, guided by comrade Brass, will have convinced some of those people to join the fight on our side, and enlist in the Red Army until death do them apart.
