I saw a lot decks working with this combo and decided to create my own version (philosophy classes were mostly long and I did not have much else to do). The main purpose of the deck is to cast bolas's citadelle and then shit his deck in one turn thanks to the life gain that explore with Wildgrowth Walker provides. Then we have two ways to win: the first would be to cast Garna, the Bloodflame that gives haste to all our creatures and thus oneshot the enemy. The second would be to sacrifice 10 nonland permanents with the third bolas's citadelle ability when Command the Dreadhorde is on top of the library, then resurrect everything to start again. The choice that might seem surprising is to play Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter . With the explore, the majority of our creatures will already have counters on them, and this planeswalker allows both ramp, and solve the mana problems that might arise to pay for the artifact or the side cards possessing red. Speaking of the side, it can quite be seen otherwise, you will notice that the base of the deck is not so far from the golgari midrange of the meta guild of ravnica, a switch could be practical for less permissive decks (such as controls).In other decks running this combo, I've often seen Wayward Swordtooth or Treasure Map   appear. I personally think that playing Doom Whisperer is much more beneficial, because it can remove the land as often as our life allows, and it stays out of the combo a very good card. Exploring is also enough to search bolas's citadelle or remove the lands on top of the library. If you have had the patience to read my encyclopedia so far, thank you and I listen with pleasure your advice!
