This deck tries to have its cake, eat it, regurgitate the cake vomit, eat THAT, then try to rob the local bakery of all its flour, sugar and eggs this is just too much for a new player
Its worth noting that these reprints include a healthy mix of merfolk-specific payoffs and generically good cards (Metallic Mimic, Thassa, God of the Sea)
Weve seen several win conditions that ignore your opponents life total entirely, and control decks often win by a wide enough margin that one extra turn of attacking doesnt matter
Crimson Vow is a set all about card draw, it seems, and both Izzet and Simic get some fresh designs centered around value in the command zone
And to be clear, this is certainly not proof that attacking Battles is worthwhile
