This is my take on a Numot deck. I have the card since it first came out and always wanted to do something with it, and here is the result

The deck is all about destroying lands and slowing down opponents' actions or outright deny them, enabling us to take our sweet time savoring their salty tears and finishing them off from the air. This deck is sure to attract salty gazes and make players gang up on us, so there's also plenty of defensive spells about to allow us to endure until our endgame is in sight

Make sure to look passive and ramp up in the early game. Don't start melting lands recklessly before you can back it up with defense and foundations to dominate the board

Mining salt is all well and good, but we do need some win conditions:

• Aurelia, the Warleader grants extra attacks for more damage and doubling Numot triggers

• Avacyn, Angel of Hope makes all my permanents indestructible

• Numot, the Devastator is himself a win-con, providing elusive Commander damage and land destruction

• True Conviction gives Double Strike and Lifelink for immense pressure and survivability

Other than those specific win-cons, taking away opponents' lands and restricting their actions is a win condition of its own. If they can't counter us and leave themselves open, the win is sure to follow

I will add a detailed description of the other cards and their roles soon
