Oversoul
The Tentacled One
Back in 2019, one of my decks built for the West Coast Commander League was helmed by Gosta Dirk and crammed full of cards to attempt to fulfill special point categories for the League. One of the point categories involved causing creatures to gain flying, so I threw in Predator, Flagship and a bunch of spells to give creatures flying. Ever since then, I've been meaning to revisit the Predator, Flagship thing with some deck built more fully around that gimmick. Well, that deck is finally here.
So many of the key cards for this concept were older that at some point I figured I might as well make the whole thing PreDH-legal. And that's pretty much it. I give your guys flying, then I shoot them down. Oh, don't look at me like that. It could work! Stars align, something, something. But it could. It's not out of the question.
