Yasova ABC - Aikido, Borrow, Clone

Slight improvements over the years. I love the interactions and every game is different. It usually can be what I need and can respond to most threats.

Most cards are multifunctional. A lot of utility and ramp. Copy\Clone effects can deal with Legendary cards in a pinch and allow me to “play” with new cards that I have not acquired yet.
