      I (your friendly neighbourhood monored player) have a solution for blue players making the game take forever, especially if it's the ... *shudders* ... monoblue kind...
      It's a lovely 4-mana card called Boil. I was lucky enough to open it as an Amonkhet Invocation (or unlucky enough, considering its price vs some of the other Invocations), and ever since then I have been terrorizing blue players.

      In any case, Boil is 1 card out of 99, and it's not like I run tutors (not that there are that many in red, outside of Gamble), and half the time even when I do get to play it it hits 4 lands max. The only time it's ever heavily impacted a game was when I was down to a 1v1 against a Talrand player and I topdecked it the turn he tapped out.

    You could say he has a "Toolbox" of creatures to choose from. :D

    You know what, this video inspired me to make a Henzie deck my next project. I feel like doing some crimes.

    Jund players don't raise kids, they raise insurance policies.

    My Jund deck is a Zitora build called "Stop Hitting Yourself". 14 different threaten effects so I can take your best creature, smack you in the face with it, then smack you in the face again with the fling. Note, I'm also going to get a bunch of beneficial effects on sacrifice as well. It's gross in the best kind of way

    Personally I'd love to see you roast a personal favorite of mine, that being Wilson, Refined Grizzly. If you need a background for it, something totally reasonable would be , say, Raised by Giants. Just honest Green. Nothing horrible about it.
    Though it is such a fun deck to play, I had a friend build it for me after my old ass yellow lab of the same name passed away, and it's just my little nod to that old boi.
