Yes, that's a Putt-Putt reference. I am an absolute child. Anyway, this was formerly a hatebears/death and taxes hybrid that, while fun, had some pretty bad matchups in the current meta. So I decided to move to a zoo-style build that could be a lot more aggressive. It's a fairly standard zoo deck, and I've heard that Jeff Hoogland did this style of deck at one point, but I've yet to see his list. It's probably better. Regardless, this is my current list with some cards that I'm planning on testing out.
