This deck's plan is to play a million lands and let everyone draw a bunch of cards (unless we Notion Thief), then we steal our opponents' stuff and kill them with their own cards. Or get the ultimate theft, and steal the game with Maze's End!!

Deck Notes

• Board wiping is central to the deck and it's function, but we need to make sure we profit from it most. With Child of Alara's destruction trigger on the stack you can cast a protection spell like Boros Charm and keep your board safe from the effect. The deck will continually recur everything to be able to do it over and over again if needed. Its a dirty plan.

• I built around Howling Mine and Exploration effects. This is the engine that fuels the deck, and it's a fun one to play with. Makes for slightly quicker and/or more intense games too which is nice. Also it helps assemble the win with Maze's End.

• Notion Thief is not actually important and rarely lives long, but can draw so many cards if it does. And it's hilarious to me. It fits in with the larger theme of stealing opponent's stuff.

• With the ramp spells I decided to max out on cards that make extra land drops because they have synergy with drawing extra cards, crappy slow bounce-lands and board wipes. Also cards that tutor up any land so we can assemble our guildgate tron win.

• You have to put the commander into the graveyard when it dies, because the destruction trigger won't happen if it goes to the command zone upon dying. You will need to be able to bring it back many times in a game as well. The ability to constantly recur things with Eternal Witness kinds of cards supported by the many never ending recursion engines like Genesis and Muldrotha, the Gravetide makes nothing ever really die. Which is fun.

This deck plays lots of permanent cards but also constantly board wipes them, so there are many synergy considerations to make when choosing cards to include. Ideas are welcome! Thanks :)
