Description
"Tunnel Snakes Rule!" is an aggressive, mono-black tribal deck commanded by Butch DeLoria, Tunnel Snake, which aims to build a wide board of cheap, evasive Rogues. The central strategy revolves around using this gang to power up Butch, who gets a +1/+1 bonus for each fellow Rogue or Snake whenever he attacks, turning him into a formidable, game-ending threat. The deck's engine is fueled by Butch's ability to spend mana to "recruit" any other creature, making it a Rogue and giving it menace, which both grows his power and makes your entire force more difficult to block. This creates a potent synergy where attacks generate Treasure tokens via equipment, which then pay to expand the gang, leading to an even larger and more dangerous board state with each successful assault.
