---

The meta I have been playing in has grown soft and weak whilst suckling at the teat of too much ramp and powerful lands. They will weep when I take it all away, but it is to make them strong once more

The general idea of this deck is land control, destroying lands on mass once board advantage has been claimed. There are also several cards put in to help grind opponents down, which may be suboptimal in the format but I find to be great just after an annihilation. Mogis, God of Slaughter is a prime example of this.

As I hope to be wiping on turns 6/7, the curve was designed to peak at 6, minus Avacyn, Angel of Hope and (for obvious reasons) and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight.

There are a few minor two card combos, such as Descent into Madness + Assemble the Legion and Worldslayer + Zurgo Helmsmasher.

I'm trying to find cards to replace Sudden Disappearance and Flickerwisp, suggestions are welcome.
