This deck has a few staxy elements, but generally keeps it janky enough to be fun for everyone at the table.

On turns where Taniwha is phased in and lands are phased out, the goal is to use blue land hate effects that due to Taniwha's ability affect you asymmetrically.

On turns where Taniwha is phased out, the goal is to use creature and non land permanent bounce in order to give you free hits with Taniwha.

Voltron is one of the main wincons of this deck, therefor there are a few ways to make Taniwha unblock able, buff her up and protect her. Also can use some of the blue fatties to good effect combined with bounce.

Mana rocks are super important in this deck, as on terms without land they are the only source of mana you have available. Remember that instants can get around lands phasing out in the upkeep step, so Orrey and Leyline help you play a pseudo main phase before your lands phase out.
