A simple page to track the metazoo decks I've built. None of these decks are 100% tournament optimized; I do not own prism aura or enough power up red copies.
I have a few money cards (Bigfoot, powerup red, etc.) thrown in but I generally try to stick with budget competitive cards (e.g. Wood Devil of Coos Country).
As I tune and tinker with builds or aquire more value cards I use this page as an evergreen document to track the list and fourth wall items. I share a single archive between all decks for testing purposes.
