My post-rotation take on the demonic aurora combo. Heavily inspired by Kenji Tumura's deck.

Combat early damage from aggro with life gain. This is more effective than it sounds.Jaddi Offshoot, Retreat to Kazandu and Nissa's Renewal

Ramp into more mana for The Great Aurora. (so also more permanents). Nissa's Pilgrimage, Explosive Vegetation and Nissa's Renewal

Remove any threats/build an advatage with all the removal spells, Duress and Demonic Pact.

Kill your opponent with animated lands, Demonic Pact and/or Gaea's Revenge.

The Great Aurora functions as a removal for Demonic Pact. But because you have so much more permanents than your opponent, you will build a serious cardadvantage.
