Decklists

The Great Heist deck features the new Heist mechanic, which is quite cool. To explain the mechanic again: When a player commits a Heist, they look at three random nonland cards from their opponent’s deck and choose to exile one of them. They can then play that card from exile for the remainder of the game using mana of any color. Since heist target’s the opponent, it is considered a crime! The deck itself is quite good as a bonus, so you should try it out!
