Introduction

A great Semi-Casual Chulane, Teller of Tales deck. We are using the druid themed approach to win us our games. The key is to make sure we have card draw to keep up with playing creature after creatures. Then we overwhelm the board and win.

Starting Strategy

Our first strategy is to ramp, honestly if you can not see the ramp you need to get your eyes checked. Most of this deck is to accelerate us into our win condition.

Second most important is card draw: Gilt-Leaf Archdruid; Guardian Project; Vanquisher's Banner; Herald's Horn; and Chulane, Teller of Tales.

Winning Cards and combos

Now we need to win the game, so lets break down some of the cards that will win us the game:

• Gilt-Leaf Archdruid is an all-star in this deck, he is the primary reason for running druids. Not only does he draw us cards but it basically reads, control 7 druids and make target player scoop (summoning sickness doesn't matter when tapping for this ability)

• Intruder Alarm on its own is a powerhouse. You can play a creature, draw cards off the cast, untap all your mana dorks, then repeat this over and over. You can add Thousand-Year Elixir to activate all the activated abilities of the new creatures you are playing. Gaining us a lot of mana.

• Chulane, Teller of Tales himself has a great ability. So we have included a few guys that can abuse entering the battlefield: Frilled Mystic; Reclamation Sage; Cathars' Crusade; and lastly Eternal Witness which can grab us anything from the graveyard.

• Kamahl, Fist of Krosa + Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, the make everyone give-up by killing all their lands.

• Helix Pinnacle when everything is going sideways and we just want to end the game. Everyone taps for mana, we have Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy; Leyline of Abundance; and Nyxbloom Ancient

Finishing Up

Overall this deck is a fun take on a great commander. You get to play a lot of stuff, you can survive a board wipe, we do not play the cards people hate to see like Cyclonic Rift but we still stay competitive by including greats cards that bring a table together in having to figure out who can remove it.

Suggestions are always welcome, and I would love to hear what people would remove.
