He's big, he's bad, he has indestructible and he CAN SAVE MANA, I don't think I can imagine a better commander for a Green ramp build.

How do I win, you ask? I use 'pay X' costed spells and creatures to do things like generating 7 7/7 Ooze tokens with Gelatinous Genesis, or 7 7/7 Hydra tokens using broodmaster hydra . I could cast Rite of Replication on Terastodon to destroy an opponent's mana base, or I could use a Artisan of Kozilek to bring back a Prime Speaker Zegana, drawing 10 cards and creating 21 power for the next turn's combat phase. If I don't draw anything more efficient, then I just use Kruphix, God of Horizons to save mana for Squall Line , and kill the whole table.

The only point I've found this deck suffers at is when you're facing up against aggressive decks, or decks that go wide with buffed token spam. The other deck I play is a Prossh, Skyraider of Kher glass cannon, so I've included cards like Vow of Flight and Vow of Wildness to either frustrate 1v1 opponents running Voltron-type builds, redirect them at the rest of the table, or just neuter large board threats. In extreme cases, I use Declaration of Naught to simply counter their commander out of the game, or at least stall them for several turns while I ramp into my win conditions.
