Something I've been working on for some time. Its pretty similar to most of the lists that are running around, but I like to plug power creatures into my mainboard for the game one sneak win. Lyra Dawnbringer is the first card that comes to mind. I've always been a fan of the card. It can win the game on its own if not kept in check. Tolsimer, Friend of Wolves has been a shocking powerhouse. You can reliably cast it turn 3 in this deck, and that can set any deck far back. Most of the time, you're trading one of rdw's small creatures, or a non-pumped Wildgrowth Walker , to get a large board advantage.

Obviously the deck runs around Mass Manipulation (and Entrancing Melody to some extent). This card is an absolute house. Its cost is very demanding, but that's easily taken care of by the insane amount of mana dorks and Nissa, Who Shakes the World .

Comments and suggestions are always appreciated and welcomed.

To anyone else running a similar list, what are some things I may be missing? My board is a little wonky, but it has been working well for me so far.

Thanks for taking the time, and enjoy!
