I saw Maze's End and thought "Hmm, what would a deck look like built around this?"

So far it works ok in playtest, although it seems too slow to be viable as a mainstream deck. Supreme Verdict is great removal in combination with Haunted Plate Mail, as it isn't a creature, and the Gatecreeper Vines and Maze's End are good at getting you an extra Guildgate per turn. My thoughts now are:

1) A way to play multiple land per turn

2) A way to play my Gatecreeper Vines more than once (Disperse?)

3) How to deal with aggro (no reliable way to gain life)

All suggestions welcome.
