Combination creatures and lands toolbox. The build is primarily a strong tutor package to make the box run, card draw and deck manipulation to keep yourself gassed up, and the creatures and lands themselves which have a large degree of applications. The rest is a supplement of ramp and goodstuff and a strong removal suite.

The deck's main strengths are synergy, versatility, speed, and surprise. The deck is on extraordinarily good terms with itself and effort is made to maintain this balance. In terms of interacting with permanents and the battlefield green is across the board good (though creatures are still quarrelsome). You have speed on your side both for the fact you can ramp quick and start pulling EtB shenanigans. This, in addition to the high tutor density, and general versatility, means you can pull winning scenarios from out of nowhere.

The main weaknesses is the lack offensive capabilities on the stack, meaning counter magic must both be played through and prayed for. Theft and reanimation are also well known hazards. Direct creature removal is still not strong in color and almost all is sorcery speed but it continues to improve. The fact you are often such an unknown quantity can also a con, provoking some paranoia and the possibility of a gang-up so get in practice of doing a little political diffusion.

You can rev up quick and take out a player early but you'll probably be too spent to weather the rest of the table. You're fast, but don't be in a hurry. Better I find to play light positions early, set up a mid game of crippling answers and proactive plays, and arrive at a late game where you are the inevitable conclusion. Don't forget your politics and know the deck as well as you can are the best advice I can give. Good luck and fun games!
