Mayael is usually targeted quickly, so don't cast this powerful general until there is some protection out there for her as soon as she hits.

Strengths: Pulling out very large, very powerful creatures that all do something useful.

Weaknesses: Board wipes!

Some of my favorite combos are fairly well known but require some assistance.

Primeval Titan + Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle needs a little help since there are only two Mountains in this deck, so a Prismatic Omen does the trick nicely. The only card here that isn't exciting alone is Valakut, but I'm OK with that.

Having Seedborn Muse out with Mayael is pretty sickening and is almost always quickly removed. If I have Lightning Greaves or Swiftfoot Boots out on both of these then things are just plain insane, especially in multiplayer. This set-up doesn't happen very often, but when it does Mayael quickly reminds opponents why she needs to be taken care of quickly.

Scroll Rack is an absolute all-star card for decks like this. Stacking the deck for only two mana is too good. Late game, after a hypothetical Praetor's Counsel , access to the entire remainder of the deck is possible. Shuffle effects from fetch lands add to the availability, naturally.

The greatest weaknesses this deck has are against strong control decks, creature-stealing, and reanimate decks. The hope is that Gaddock Teeg , Austere Command , or any of the other avenues for removal can hinder the opponents before they can start toying with Mayael's team.
