The deck has been called oppressive, un-fun, and overpowered. And they're right, this deck can play very oppressively, it can ruin peoples 'fun' and it can power out wins pretty consistently. But how the games play is in your control, this deck can play solitaire or very interactively.

I wanted a fair deck that could produce an answer for whatever was thrown at it, so far it's been able to handle hordes of slivers, fighting off mountains, islands and forests against a land matters Surrak Dragonclaw, having everything taken away by Norin the Wary, facing off against a truly indestructible and impenetrable Bruna, Light of Alabaster, and the onslaught of artifacts brought about by Daretti, Scrap Savant. So far the only thing it wasn't able to answer was a Sydri, Galvanic Genius deck that on turn 3 or 4 had many mana rocks, Winter Orb, Tezzeret the Seeker , and had Proteus Staffed into Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur the turn before.

The early plan is ramp like Coiling Oracle, Kodama's Reach, Farseek, Farhaven Elf, Solemn Simulacrum, or Wood Elves. We also have rocks of Sol Ring, Mana Vault, Darksteel Ingot, and Coalition Relic.

The mid game is when we establish board state with things like Mistmeadow Witch, Glen Elendra Archmage, Prophet of Kruphix, Thragtusk, Armada Wurm, or Sun Titan

And the end game plan is a huge swing with a Craterhoof Behemoth bound to a Deadeye Navigator, or many Armada Wurms

A few of my* favorite interactions:

Glen Elendra Archmage + any blinker = No more non-creature spells for you guys

Mistmeadow Witch + Prophet of Kruphix/Seedborn Muse = Lots of etb effects

Progenitor Mimic + Cool creatures + Any blinker = I'll take one of everything please. (note that this works through hexproof because he doesn't target)

Spike Weaver + Any blinker = I hope you can win outside of combat

Armada Wurm + any blinker = Lots of 5/5 tramplers seem pretty good.

Craterhoof Behemoth + Rite of Replication = Game over (usually)

Eternal Witness + Sun Titan = Yes I have cast that spell 5 times this game

Mangara of Corondor/Acidic Slime + Any blinker = Let me clean those spots for you

primespeaker zegana + Any blinker + A big body = Pick up lots of cards, which I am told is important.

Also remember that Wargate can get lands if you pay 0 for X, have too many cards in hand? Get your handy dandy Reliquary Tower. Did someone say something about killing your Prophet of Krupihx on their next turn? get Riptide Laboratory. Is someone taking your guys? Take them back with your very own Homeward Path.

I am missing a few cards that would make the deck even better, but I am open to all suggestions.

Right now I am looking to get:

Cryptic Command
