Short description

As Mayael points out, the deck's goal is to sneak in big creatures from outta nowhere. Aside from the commander itself, we have a plethora of enchantments and some blowout sorceries to get the big boys or girls out.

As the deck currently stands, its first turns are usually land-go. There's a minimal amount of mana dorks and those that we have shine when we already have a fattie out. Therefore, it's a rather slow deck, more so aimed at multiplayer games in a friendly environment. Steer clear of cEDH. :D

Combos and synergies

• Boonweaver Giant + Pattern of Rebirth + Ashnod's Altar : Plain old Boonweaver, slower than our Karador counterparts, but a wincon nonetheless. Sometimes makes you lose friends. Use carefully. This version allows us to fetch all our deck. Get Karmic Guide first, bring back Boony, which brings back Pattern. Sac Boonweaver again, get Fiend Hunter, targeting Karmic Guide. Sac Fiend Hunter, which returns Karmic Guide to play, which gets Boony and Pattern. Sac all 3, getting Reveillark. ($)Sac him, bring Karmic Guide and Fiend Hunter. Stack triggers, Karmic Guide getting Boonweaver resolves, than Fiend Hunter exiles Karmic Guide. Sac Fiend Hunter, Karmic Guide brings back Reveillark. Sac Boonweaver, getting whatever you want. Sac Karmic Guide. Repeat from "($)" for all your creatures. They have haste due to Cyclops of Eternal Fury and a lot of protection due to some cards we will mention later.

• Boonweaver Giant + Pattern of Rebirth + Goblin Bombardment : Similar to the above, but ($) doesn't need to fetch, it just pings everyone to death. The same way the previous combo yielded infinite .

• Gisela, Blade of Goldnight + Combustible Gearhulk : For when you really, REALLY need to draw 3 cards.

• Avacyn, Angel of Hope + Archetype of Endurance + Bearer of the Heavens + Ashnod's Altar : The Archetype is there to keep Avacyn safe. The Altar can be replace with any sacrifice effect we have. Destroy all your opponents' stuff. Keep yours. Here's the cards I said I'd mention. Also notable is Void Winnower for that matter.

• Selvala's Stampede : Can't even begin to emphasize how many games this card won me. Extra credit for hitting a Greenwarden of Murasa or an Eternal Witness and getting it back. Genesis Wave works similarly.

• Woodland Bellower + Wood Elves + Eternal Witness + Reclamation Sage + Manglehorn + Shaman of Forgotten Ways : The best utility toolbox, that bear. Sun Titan is also its best buddy.

• Mayael the Anima + Seedborn Muse + from your permanents : There's no better way to use her ability than using it every turn.

• Blightsteel Colossus + Sneak Attack + Flameshadow Conjuring : Flameshadow Conjuring rocks. It has so many uses, from doubling up Wood Elves and the likes to this aforementioned combo. Bonus instagibing if you have an Aurelia, the Warleader out.
