Hey! The sheriff's a rhino!

That's right, there's a new sheriff entering the battlefield.

This deck is designed to be competitive in a strong but non-cutthroat metagame. That means no Hermit Druid, hyper-efficient Stax or mass LD, or other variations on turn 4-5 infinite combos.

Win Conditions:
Reveillark + Mirror Entity + Body Double/ Karmic Guide + Venser, Shaper Savant or Acidic Slime -- This combo enables us to bounce or destroy nearly everything on the field that's not under our control. Venser, in particular, can bounce ALL permanents and prevent any other player from casting spells or keeping lands in play for the rest of the game, and can only be answered by split second removal. It appears clunky because it requires so many pieces, but with Survival of the Fittest in play it is actually quite easy to assemble, especially with Prophet of Kruphix online.

Tooth and Nail -- Entwine TnN for a good ol' Craterhoof Behemoth + Avenger of Zendikar beatdown.

Deadeye Navigator + pretty much anything, e.g. Armada Wurm, Prime Speaker Zegana, Craterhoof or Avenger. Repeatedly blinking creatures makes Champion of Lambholt pretty huge pretty quickly, and she in turn helps get your army of weenies through enemy lines.

Other fun utilities include Spike Weaver as a solid defense against creature-based aggro and Gaddock Teeg as defense against virtually every board wipe ever printed. Gaddock also hoses creature-light decks that are reliant on big instants/sorceries, powerful artifacts and planeswalkers to generate advantage.

I'm looking for more ways to add some graveyard hate/protection without diluting my creature base, but I need help figuring out what cards to remove. Highest on the list of cards I want to add are:

Krosan Grip
Aegis of the Gods
Leyline of Sanctity
Return to Dust
Tormod's Crypt

Recent Changes
+ Mangara of Corondor, - Beast Within (Mangara is a slower form of removal, sure, but it's easy to abuse in this deck and has no downside.)
+ Myojin of Life's Web, - Progenitor Mimic (I want to test this out. If I can manage to hoard a handful of powerful creatures, I could remove the divinity counter on Myojin during the last player's end step and very likely win on my next turn. EDIT: Cut Myojin for Angel of Serenity. Myojin's just too cute.
