Win-Cons

If any of these land, we should be able to finish some players off after this sort of a wipe.

• Living Plane + Massacre Wurm
• Doomwake Giant + Living Plane
• Living Plane + Minister of Pain
• Massacre Wurm + Nature's Revolt

Chip damage

• Zulaport Cutthroat and Blood Artist can help get there.
• Umezawa's Jitte Can help chip away over time.

Larger threats

• Massacre Wurm
• Graveblade Marauder could present a decent threat later in the game

Planned additions

• Creakwood Liege is a decent win-con. (Remove Permeating Mass )
• Damping Matrix more stax (Remove Meekstone )
• Fyndhorn Elves more ramp
• Mindslicer better hand disruption
• Minister of Pain (Remove Graveblade Marauder )
• Nature's Revolt (Remove Eldrazi Monument )
• Toxic Deluge lower cmc board wipe
• Burglar Rat more hand disruption (Remove ?)
