I made this with the intent of avoiding my usual combo decks (being an avid Simic playing degenerate.)

So naturally I went to the most fun thing in the game, stax and land destruction! Horray!

This list is super sloppy right now, and I'm working on narrowing down some options and hopefully looking for more Smokestack/tapdown effects, potentially giving in and being a degenerate and making it a pseudo-combo deck again.

Keep in mind I'm playing on MTGO so prices are less of an issue than they would be if I was playing paper.

The biggest wincons here are completely shutting your opponent out with either contamination and token generation, using smokestack to make them rip their hair out, or using any combination of humility/living plane and doomwake giant/toxic deluge/Elesh Norn/deathcloud/linvala to make them not very happy.

There are tons of lil interactions in here, titania + land wraths, strip mine+crucible, bitterblossom+contamination, using my enchantress fueled draw, I can shut down most boards before they can even start.

I had Carpet of flowers in here for a while, but I don't play against enough blue, plus ideally my opponent won't have enough lands(or any) for me to even profit off of.

Usually my wincon is ragequitting.
