This deck transforms from 8 Rack to Green stompy A splash of green for Tarmogoyf during g2 and g3I have been playtesting this on untap: 5 wins 1 loss so far, I will continue to play test it three wins were against 2 janky burn decks, Jund, an artifact deck, and dredge. The loss was against some blue black jank. Won off of mill.

Anyway here is how the deck works:
The mainboard is sided for 8 Rack. This focuses on forcing your opponent to discard their hand away, there is a combo with card:Dakmore Salvage and Raven's Crime where you discard and dredge to allow you to hit a card per turn without loosing lands. Ghost Quarter is there to hit any quick ramp or mana fixing.card:Mutavalts can get you out of trouble, just make sure to leave mana up for them. This version is slightly quicker to hit than the other version and tuned towards the meta in modern currently. The Green side can normally hit hard by turn 5-6 kill. If you enjoy watching your opponent salt out then this is the deck for you!

Here is the magic though! During Game two with a few exceptions (burn, affinity, infect depending on the build) you will side out the following: 4 Mutavault for 4 Overgrown Tomb4 The Rack for 4 Tarmogoyf4 Ensnaring Bridge for 2 Fatal Push & 2 card:Tasigurand 3 Shrieking Affliction for 3 card:Scavaging Ooze (this is the one where you have some freedom to pick a set of 3 cards that don't help you with the match you are currently in. Use your judgement)

The card:Nihil Spellbombs are in the main because against most blue, red base decks or dredge, which are both very hot in the current meta, it is a safe bet to put in the main. They can be a side out option instead of Shrieking Affliction. It is also nice to have any game one because it will cycle itself away, removing options from the graveyard and even slowing card:Tarmagoyf down in the process (if your opponent is also running :P it is good if not it can bite you in the ass this card is a good option to side out if you want to keep afflictions in).

The transformation makes your opponents leylines, and Chalaces are mostly irrelevant because you are no longer playing rack.

For budget versions Liliana of the Veil can be replaced with Necrogen Mists for the purposes of this deck (in most decks this is not the case)
