The idea here is to use lands as gas to ensure a flow of both cards and mana, while using several damage dealing triggers along the way to grind down opponents. We can finish using big beaters, or lay into a huge mana X-spell.

Lord Windgrace and Rain of Filth

Lord Windgrace heads up an Oathbreaker take on a big-mana lands-deck. He fills a value spot, grinding lands into the graveyard and returning them to the battlefield. He's a big part of our engine, providing us with a consistent source of card advantage; that means to play him intelligently, so he doesn't get shut out of the game or insta-killed upon casting. Thankfully, as long as he can stick for a round or two, its often enough to ramp up both card-advantage and mana, helping ensure we can absorb the commander tax on subsequent castings. If left unchecked, we'll bury our foes in mana. Rain of Filth , then, sets up our finishes. We can use it to ramp hard for a turn if we need to crank out a big spell or two, and LW ensures we can get whatever lands we sac to it back. Its not uncommon to be able to produce 10-20 mana at once by turn 5 or so - perfect for powering up a massive Torment of Hailfire or Genesis Wave .

Playtesting Notes

Patience in the early game is important, as this deck wants to establish itself slowly and not draw the ire of the table; deal with threats, play politically, and grow the mana base. LW can sort of come down whenever, so as to start the value train, but he's got to survive for 2ish rounds in many cases in order to be worth it. So far, the wins have all come on the back of a big Torment of Hailfire where X=15+. Of note, lands-in-hand tend to play more valuably, so big Landfall shenanigans have been eschewed.

Changes

1. Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar out, Unbound Flourishing in. Multani was just too slow to make an impact in the games where she's had a chance. While Unbound Flourishing is niche and may not stay sleeved up for long, its potential here warrants some testing.
2. Unbound Flourishing , Electrodominance , Wasitora, Nekoru Queen and Dark Bargain out; Genesis Wave , Korvold, Fae-Cursed King , Tectonic Reformation , and Thrill of Possibilities in.
