This deck is the transition from the more or less famous Midnight Presence Pauper Deck into the modern format. Goal is to ramp into a Turn 2 Midnight Guard and enchanting it with Presence of Gond on Turn 3.

To end the game you either produce 10000+ tokens to attack on the next turn or you end the game instantly with mill through Altar of the Brood.

To get to your combo pieces fast we make good use of Commune with the Gods as well as a little bit of card draw in form of Sigil of the Nayan Gods and Horizon Canopy. Another way to find the needed enchantment is to play Heliod's Pilgrim.

If your playset of Midnight Guard for some reason is removed from the game you still can win by taking advantage of Devoted Druid enchanted with Presence of Gond and Sigil of the Nayan Gods. This is a bit clunky but often comes suprising.

To protect the combo we run three Blossoming Defense and one Sprout Swarm. Latter is used to untap Midnight Guard in response to spot removal.

The Manabase is somewhat expensive but this list can run a cheaper base with painlands and more basics but for the sake of consistency and my love to this deck this version runs an more optimized one.
