"There's no sense in being afraid of the dark, Wil. What you should be fearing is what's in the dark." -Mia

In the Highlands of Nephalia, the old and mighty Lake Zhava holds sanctuary for the wildlife that sustains itself their. However, the fishermen of the local area see it more as a watery grave. Most fisherman know the legend of The Gitrog, a frog horror who has been known to hunt the unlucky souls who stray to his lake. Alas, it's just a legend to scare children from wandering too far from the village. Or at least the Church of Avacyn would want you to believe.

This is a midrange deck taking advantage of the delirium mechanic to create the legend of the Gitrog Monster. While putting most of your lands in and out of the graveyard, you’ll overwhelm your opponents with the creatures that have recently plagued the land. From the demons of Innistrad, to the Eldrazi’s brought by the arrival of Emerakul. Let those unlucky souls know they will not be escaping Lake Zhava so easily.
