Early game mana fixing includes Birds of Paradise, painlands, and City of Brass. Although these sources dealing damage early game may seem ridiculous, Tamanoa comes in to negate all of the painland damage and gain you lots of life afterwards. Wall of Omens for early-game cantripping and defending shenanigans.The real fun happens mid-game when at least one Tamanoa is out and you gain life as you hurt. Only one Tamanoa is required to set off the explosion, but the effects stack so more Tamanoas means more lifegain. My favorite combo is making Tamanoa indestructible with either Boros Charm or Shield of the Oversoul, having used Forbidden Orchard for a few turns to make sure my opponent has a few tokens, and using Blasphemous Act to wipe out all creatures on board. Due to Tama's ability, if there are only, say, 6 creatures out on the battlefield, that's a total lifegain of 78. If there is a Boros Reckoner out on the field as well, that's 13 points of damage to your opponent. If there are multiples of either creature, the effects stack and 2 or more Boros Reckoners could win you the game. Of course these combos are flexible and can be used on their own. Naya Charm is a great card because it can be used to deal 3 damage to a creature, tap all of your opponent's creatures (useful if they swarm with the tokens you gave them) or return a card from your graveyard to your hand. Pretty cool for 3 mana.Forbidden Orchard is one key piece of this deck for the extreme lifegain combo. Although painlands are good, i'm only limited to one City of Brass and i needed another outlet for getting any color mana production. Again, the token your opponents get only fuel your Blasphemous Act. They're not colored, are only 1/1 and don't have flying which means virtually no threat to you.Harmonize when you need to draw some cards.

Sideboard includes answers to various decks, Aegis of the Gods /Monastery Siege against burn/8 rack, Supreme Verdict for a panic button, Deflecting Palm against something like Eldrazi (or beefy creatures, in which case this card can win you the game), more Bolts, Creeping Corrosion against Artifact builds, and a couple of Meliras against infect decks.
