---

As the leader of an army, Drana uses tactics to get around her opponents' defenses then moves in for the kill with glorious, savage abandon. This deck has all the tools needed to defeat anything thrown at it - you just have to look hard enough and you'll find a solution for any predicament...

Some of the win conditions are:

• Tainted Strike paired with Drana's drain ability (kill the player who's got Iona in his deck)

• Exsanguinate / Gray Merchant of Asphodel

• Sorin Markov's second ability with a big Drana swing

• Break board stalls with Sudden Spoiling then swing for the win (not a win condition per se, but this happens often!)

• Graveyard reanimation with Living Death / Twilight's Call - even better to make it one-sided with Bojuka Bog and/or Nihil Spellbomb. Also, some creatures benefit greatly from being put onto the battlefield this way (such as Abhorrent Overlord and Mogis's Marauder)

• Last but not least, Drana often gets there with general damage - 21 is usually attainable.

One of the cool things with this deck is that while it's mana hungry, a lot of permanents will help generate what it needs: Gauntlet of Power, Caged Sun, Extraplanar Lens, Crypt Ghast, Nirkana Revenant, Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Thespian's Stage (copying Cabal Coffers), and Nykthos, Shrine of Nyx.

The removal is meant to be diverse rather than just including "destroy" types - -1/-1 with Tragic Slip, Mutilate, Black Sun's Zenith; sacrifice with Consuming Vapors, Butcher of Malakir, Fleshbag Marauder, etc. I mean to be ready against any time of board control I encounter, be it mass indestructible or hexproof effects.
