"It's like you're playing Naya Storm and saying, 'Don't interact with me.'"

The gameplan of this deck is to resolve Zacama and immediately use Greater Good , Life's Legacy , Momentous Fall or Rishkar's Expertise to draw 9+ cards. Sacrificing him for this effect allows you to recast him, since you should probably have enough mana available with a doubling effect such as Mana Flare , Heartbeat of Spring , Mana Reflection or Mirari's Wake . From here, you simply repeat the process to generate a card draw, ideally looking for a Temur Sabertooth , which you can then use to bounce Zacama infinitely and generate an arbitrarily large amount of mana. Once that's done, simply search for either an effect akin to Purphoros, God of the Forge and kill with ETB abilities, or a Walking Ballista to keep it clean and concise.

If the previous strategy didn't work, you can go for Cloudstone Curio , another creature, and a mana doubler to, theoretically, infinitely loop Zacama and generate infinite mana and ETB triggers. From there, you play an Impact Tremors or a Warstorm Surge to damage the table out.

If you're wanting to go for a more glass cannon-esque version of the deck that has a greater potential of killing early, I also have a Food Chain variant that I've been working on. That can be found at

I'm going to try and write up a pseudo-primer here in the next week or so outlining how to play the deck. It isn't overly complicated, but I still feel one might be a good thing to have,.
