Marath control deck relying on hatebears and resource denial to keep those speedy combo decks at our cut throat tables in check. The inevitable finish comes with all the various enchantment/artifact combos that piece together around Marath.

This is still the beta and obvious additions when I am able to include the rest of the fetches, Gaea's Cradle and Crop Rotation .

Update work in progress After some time the list has come tweaked into something awesome. Most of the questions I get about this list are around the combos so I am going to spell each of them out to streamline understanding this deck.

Mana combos

Food Chain + Squee, the Immortal gives you infinite creature mana of all colors by eating and casting Squee over and over.

Swarm combos

Devoted Druid + Cathars' Crusade + Marath, Will of the Wild allows you to tap the druid for a mana to turn a counter into an elemental which then puts a +1/+1 counter on each creature. Marath stays the same size and Druid can eat that counter to untap and do it again. Net result as many elementals as your want all with some number of +1/+1 counters all creatures you control other than Druid and Marath.
