The Main goal of this deck is to ramp up to 6-7 Mana and then begin to Use Mayael's ability or play big, Devastating Creatures!

Ramp:

Ramp is our staple and surefire way of playing everything in our deck, and included are your Standard Ramp spells, and also Mana doublers that can assist us in allowing us the most of our mana! Honestly? These cards are just always going to be used as ramp, no matter what, it allows us to bring forth truly epic amounts of raw mana!

Draw/Advantage:

Like gasoline in the engine, this deck will usually need some draw power and top deck manipulation to help get the deck firing on all cylinders and keep things really consistent, especially when a lot of times, many cards will be going to the bottom of the deck due to Mayael's ability.

Protectors:

Protectors are cards that Protect our boardstate and defend ourselves when we are otherwise vulnerable. These cards are Strong shields that cover our whole board and tend to stick to the table for a while, rather then acting as a Momentary Shield (Although there is one in there). They are by no means weak creatures or spells either.

The Beatdown Suite:

My philosophy in Commander is that for Most decks, you should be able to function without your commander. From cheating out huge threats, or just smashing face, this is the Classic Bread and Butter. Creatures that hit the board and attack players to deal damage, take out chump-blockers, and overall just be incredibly big and Scary. Ideally, you would cheat these out, and then knock some heads in. Included are ways to cheat our your massive creatures as well, and snowball out of control into devastating places...

Removal/Boardwipes:

No deck is ever complete without a wide variety of tools to get rid of any problems that might be presented to you. Typically, these are more targeted, but some can clear out multiple issues at once or can even potentially clear entire players! Boardwipes are generally last resort options, as we dont want to destroy our own creatures... Unless you have some protectors out like Avacyn.

Wow, what a bittersweet moment this is, as I am on the verge of changing Mayael into a new deck.

With this, I figured I should put one last entry into this log book until Mayael comes back. This isn't goodbye, just a "until next time!"

Return of the Wildspeaker --------> Last March of the Ents I only used this to draw cards, and while the March might cost more, it also lets me cheat out creatures into play! Its been a pretty solid play.

Rampant Growth --------------------> Delighted Halfing I found that thining the deck out by tuotring out more lands just wasn't enough and I needed more mana dorks to help play faster... which is said, and what lead to some of the decisions I made for changing Mayael.

Angel of Serenity -------------------> Hulking Raptor

Honestly: The Angel wasn't that good as removal, and I needed more ramp.

Iroas, God of Victory *list* --------------> Annie Joins Up

The God of Victory is great, but since its basically always just an enchantment, I wanted an enchantment that has some stopping Power to it.

Kodama of the East Tree --------> Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant

One card, cheats out all things, vs one card, that cheats everything over time. I need to play faster, so this was worth it.

Moraug, Fury of Akoum ----------> Surrak and Goreclaw

Honestly? Just Haste for me here: Moraug is good with multiple combats, but the rules issue with Moraug and timing means the deck doesn't play right all the time, so it's switched.

Phyrexian Vindicator ------------->Fanatic of Rhonas

Less Shields, even more Hardcore ramp.

Sigarda, Host of Herons ---------> Vaultborn Tyrant

This one is more of a meta issue, as I don't deal with decks that could make me sacrifice things these days.... and the Tyrant is fucking AMAZING.
