This is my approach for a WINgrace Deck.

Deck Strategy or what this deck wants to do

1. Ramp up as fast as possible.

2. Generate value with lands entering OR leaving the battlefield.

3. Win the game with explosive turns or big meanies (green is mean :D).

4. No MASS Land Destruction, because it generates way too much hate (additionally makes games boring imo).

How the deck is trying to follow the strategy

Ramp

There are many ways to ramp in the deck, getting lands into play is its core strategy after all! Just a few honorable mentions:

• Kodama's Reach and Cultivate
• Sakura-Tribe Elder and Yavimaya Elder
• Mina and Denn, Wildborn and Wayward Swordtooth.

Filter/Draw cards

Just a few examples:

• Moonlight Bargain
• Courser of Kruphix
• Into the Wilds

Get stuff in the graveyard

Aside from combat and discarding with Lord Windgrace:

• Grapple with the Past
• Grisly Salvage
• Zuran Orb
• Sustenance
• Need for Speed

Replay stuff from your graveyard:

Cards like these help a lot here:

• Crucible of Worlds
• The Mending of Dominaria
• World Shaper

Get the meanies out there and use landfall (aka wincons)

• Omnath, Locus of Rage: get a 5/5 elemental per landfall trigger that even does damage if it dies?! Put him on the field coach!
• Rampaging Baloths: 6/6 trampler for 6 CMC, good in general. The landfall trigger makes it even better.
• Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar: gets huge really fast in this deck and can come back to your hand for a decent mana cost.
• Crash of Rhino Beetles: 15/15 trampler for 5 CMC if you have 10+ lands out there, fair enough.
• Nesting Dragon: spawns eggs which will survive most boardwipes, good ensurance to stay ahead of everyone
• Borborygmos Enraged: bit expensive to play, but a real powerhouse if he gets going!
• Avenger of Zendikar: classic wincon, no-brainer inclusion

What is an explosive turn anyway?

We need to have a lot of landfall triggers available (e.g. Splendid Reclamation + X lands on the battlefield) and one of the payoff cards (e.g. Omnath, Locus of Rage) is in play. Well just imagine like 5-8 triggers (in longer games I was able to amass 15+ triggers)....THIS is an explosive turn!

Please note that the sideboard and the maybeboard are cards that I have on my wishlist but don`t own in paper (yet). I will eventually swap them out at a later point and I am open for suggestions which cards to take out.

What this deck lacks is some additional efficient removal answers. Currently included are:

• Gaze of Granite, a sorcery which can get rid of everything if we have the mana available.
• Lavalanche, a sorcery boardwipe for creatures and planeswalkers against ONE opponent.
• Savage Twister, a boardwipe which can wipe all creatures if we have the mana.
• Windgrace's Judgment, instant removal which destroys one permanent of each opponent.
• Putrefy, a green-black staple single-target instant removal for a creature or artifact.
• Wave of Vitriol, floods away all artifacts, enchantments and non-basic lands.

We also have some form of removal on creatures, which are

• Bane of Progress, wipes artifacts and enchantments.
• Borborygmos Enraged, situational damage removal for creatures.
• Omnath, Locus of Rage, situational damage removal for creatures.

Some instant permanent removal would be good, I am open for suggestions if you guys know any fitting cards for that purpose.

Another area the deck is rather lacking is lifegain. Overall I would like to have at least one or two good ways to regain a bunch of life. I am still researching suitable options at the moment.

Cards I played before in this Deck, which I swapped out (aka Deck History): Show

• Flameblast Dragon ---> Herald of Leshrac
• Oran-Rief Hydra ---> The Gitrog Monster
• Farhaven Elf ---> Stone-Seeder Hierophant
• Deathreap Ritual ---> Underrealm Lich
• Acidic Slime ---> Bane of Progress
• Destructive Flow,Desolation and Tainted AEther ---> Need for Speed,Sustenance and Rhythm of the Wild
• Pulse of Murasa ---> Reap the Past
• Herald of Leshrac ---> Rishkar's Expertise
• Turntimber Sower --> Akoum Hellkite
• Worm Harvest --> Escape to the Wilds
• Deadbridge Chant --> Casualties of War

Explanation for the swaps:

• Flameblast Dragon does seem like a viable option, but I don't feel its performing well in most of my games.
• Oran-Rief Hydra does a decent job, but requires a longer period of time and a bunch of landfall triggers with forests to actually shine. I just think it's not explosive enough in this deck.
• Farhaven Elf is a pretty good card, but I already have enough Ramp options with 3-4 CMC in the deck and it doesn`t do anything else.
• Deathreap Ritual is too situational, there is cheaper and more reliable card draw in the deck already, so I swapped it out.
• Acidic Slime is a really good option for the deck, definitly a staple in green. My only issue here is that it doesn't feel like much of an impact, so I got its' big brother Bane of Progress.
• Destructive Flow,Desolation and Tainted AEther are a litte subtheme I thought would be fitting. There are also a few interesting interactions like Tainted AEther + Nesting Dragon which gives you the 2/2 tokens directly. Problem is, people really hate land destruction and it led to lots of angry conversations and unsatisfying wins/losses for me. Additionally it didn't help me close out games if played in later stages of the game, so I swapped the cards out.
• Pulse of Murasa is a solid choice for recursion. This deck relies on big, impactful actions, so I swapped it out for Reap the Past after some testing and discussion, which fulfills this condition to a greater extend.
• While Herald of Leshrac can steal lands which we can use to sacrifice with e.g. Zuran Orb, this combination can be countered in far too many ways. I decided to get some more card draw instead, and Rishkar's Expertise is a solid option which offers some additional (re-)build potential.
• Turntimber Sower was mainly used a defensive option with some potential for a later Avenger of Zendikar in mind. But with the (almost stupid) amount of ramp in this deck, there are few situations where I desperatly had to play something for 3 CMC. I decided to got for an additional option to close out games: Akoum Hellkite
• Worm Harvest is a decent card to combo with, but it needs a good setup to shine. I added Escape to the Wilds instead for some card advantage.
• Deadbridge Chant occured to me as a lategame card for recursion, but the randomness makes it rather hard to cash in some serious advantage. I want to have more removal options, Casualties of War fits this purpose.
