What is this deck?

A: Ink-Treader Nephilim shenanigans, red herring style

Why is Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis the general?

A: Because this way people cannot discount my glorious victory with claims that my general is not legit. The Greeks also make lands like Gruul Turf better. AND they make me seem less threatening.

Why so many mana dorks?

a: Because this deck is 4 colors and dorks can be untapped ;) (see Jeskai Ascendancy , Refocus , Kari Zev's Expertise , and Cerulean Wisps ). Also, mana dorks increase the spell count when you target Ink whereas Rampant Growth does not.

The following are meant to tutor / act as contingency plans for Ink-Treader Nephilim, and can be removed and replaced with better things if my golden-hearted opponents allow me to run the nephilim as a general: Supply , Primal Command , Congregation at Dawn , Eladamri's Call , Signal the Clans , Bring to Light , Green Sun's Zenith , Worldly Tutor , Zada, Hedron Grinder , Mirrorwing Dragon
