The idea behind the deck is to use Kruphix as early as possible to act as a mana battery to save up mana. Once we have a lot of mana, we start the terror going with enormous Eldrazi titans, Phyrexian Praetors, and other cards that elicit fear in our opponents. I've also leaned a bit more into the card draw to capitalize on Kruphix's ability to give no maximum hand size as well as to get the ramp and big creatures the deck want's to drop.

As one of my oldest and favorite decks, I have slowly put a lot of value into the deck to bling it out as well as raise it's power.
