The deck is built to work with or with out Mayael. There are many sources of mana acceleration, most of them are rocks. The choice to play rocks over the staple Kodama's Reach, Cultivate, Explosive Vegetation is due to Genesis Wave and Primal Surge which are back breaking if they resolve.

There are quite a few permanent tutor effects such as Survival of the Fittest, Birthing Pod, Brutalizer Exarch, Fierce Empath , Mwonvuli Beast Tracker and Pattern of Rebirth to give the deck a kind of tool box approach.

I have tried to take care of all of the decks needs through creatures, such as wrath (Balefire Dragon, Novablast Wurm, Scourge of Kher Ridges), card draw (Greater Good, Garruk, Primal Hunter, Drumhunter , Solemn Simulacrum Soul of the Harvest and Yavimaya Elder), recursion (Karmic Guide, Eternal Witness, Artisan of Kozilek and Genesis), alternative ways to cheat in fatties (Elvish Piper, Quicksilver Amulet, Garruk, Caller of Beasts , Mosswort Bridge and Spinerock Knoll) and artifact/land/enchantment destruction (terastadon, Brutalizer Exarch, Acidic Slime and Woodfall Primus).

The deck works really well, and thanks to the combination of rocks, ramp and mana-doublers it gets there fast.

If the deck had any issues it would be the lack of spot removal, which could be easily remedied with additional creature inclusion such as Duplicant and Luminate Primordial. Regardless the deck is a beast and a threat on any table.

The addition of several haste enchantments, creatures and artifacts makes every creature a sizable threat the second they resolve. Akroma's Memorial, In the Web of War , Xenagos, God of Revels, Urabrask the Hidden and Lightning Greaves).

I'm really enjoying the deck. It seems to be a strong contender against other competitive builds. My playgroup does not allow infinite combos (5 activations per turn only), so I have avoided many inclusions in to the deck as a consequence.

Feel free to offer any suggestions. Thanks.
