I've seen a couple of these floating around and I wanted to give one a shot before it cycles out of standard. The basic idea is to pillowfort until you can trigger Maze's End.

I haven't tested this extensively yet, but in theory at least it works fairly well. The sideboard has enough versatility in it to respond to most threats, assuming the main deck can't on it's own. Fog Bank and Hover Barrier are adept enough guards, while ETB effects in the form of Saruli Gatekeepers and Gatecreeper Vine get double duty from Cloudshift. Axebane Guardian is a good source for the mana needed to trigger Maze's End or Urban Evolution or literally anything else.

Really I think that my favorite part of the deck is that the most expensive card in it Maze's End itself. Everything else is pretty much dirt cheap.

Any constructive critcisms are appreciated.
