The goal is to control the board with Fatal Push, Vraska's Contempt and the package of Trial of Ambition being supported with 4 cartouches. The creatures being run are efficient, and all make good targets for the cartouches, whether above curve, evasive, or the extra +1/+1 gives them an edge on the creatures in the meta currently.
Choosing to run deserts gives us the advantage of having more options with our lands, and Ramunap Hydra is a ridiculous beater. Hour of Promise is insane ramp and defense all in one, which lets us get utility lands and gets us closer to a lethal Torment of Hailfire which is one of our straight out wincons.
Vraska, Relic Seeker is in the deck because I want to play them. Also just read her, she's exactly what we want in a way to control the board and even ramps for big Hailfires or other tricks we have.
Deadeye Navigator is a meta call. They shut down graveyard strategies, they can grow, they can be used at instant speed. The guy is great.
The rest of the mainboard is standard.
The sideboard has answers for god heavy decks in Doomfall. Another life gain cartouche against agro, and a sweeper in Bontu's Last Reckoning.
Prowling Serpopard is for the control matchup.
Rhonas the Indomitable wanted to be mainboard but he lives on in the sideboard because he's just a big problem that decks have to spend resources to solve.
The last two cards are brought out in desperation. If classic "The Rock" decks had their namesake, then this is our Dwayne Johnson: Razaketh, the Foulblooded. When we need another win con then Torment, this guy is a truck and nearly impossible to remove since we'll side in Blossoming Defense and Rush of Vitality. We can sac and search for a defense and protect against any targeted removal or board wipe.
Essentially the deck is just an awful midrange deck that has tools to just out-grind other midrange decks.
