Legally required statements out of the way, let's talk Dryads!

This deck started out as a meme (and it of course maintains that as its core), but is slowly evolving into a more competitive state. The main wincons are--well, let's be honest, the ONLY wincon is Triumph of the Hordes . That's why it's a 4-of. We probably lose without it.

A good game looks like this:

T1. Land, Noble Hierarch .

T2. Land, Explore / Finale of Devastation (X=0) to put Dryad Arbor into play, Old-Growth Dryads .

T3. Land, Collected Company (This CoCo can really get any two non-Hierarch creatures), Path to Exile a threat/blocker.

T4. Triumph of the Hordes , win.
