The Jolly Christmas Deck

Didn't you know? Santa Claus plays Magic! And thanks to an anonymous tip from an elf at the North Pole, I have the pleasure of showing you just what's in it!

Santa believes in the customary colors of Christmas: Red, White and Green. His deck is thus based upon those colors and has a few artifacts as gifts to help him. Though it may not be as good as some decks, it is apparently much better than any other deck in the North Pole. (The anonymous elf has suggested setting up a line of credit: they give us money, we give 'em cards...)

As you can see, the deck is not really creature oriented, though the spells can blast most creatures out of the water. Also, the spells which give life allow Santa to knock out his opponents using Hurricanes and Earthquakes and still live himself.

Merry Christmas!!!
