Deck Description

So I was on MGTO and I faced this deck than ran a really interesting combo. I played a whole match against this deck and wound up barely winning a game (we played two games and my opponent had to leave.) but I was left dumbfounded. This deck was something I hadn't seen before, and had to attempt the idea myself. So, about half an hour later of tinkering and card searching, this was born. Thanks Otto for being a great opponent and inspiring this!

How to Play

The combo is a little weird the first time you see it. Basically, make a few tokens, then attack. Before blocks are declared, play Keep Watch to power draw, then use Rites of Initiation to discard your hand and wreck stuff. Abundant Growth and Nylea's Prescene help fix mana and draw those key combo pieces, the token stuff helps provide a setup for the combo, and Might of the Masses is a secondary win con.

SIDEBOARD:

Archer fights off Delver's annoying presence, as well as flying in general, Sabotage and Grudge take on Affinity, more Might for more win cons, and Preordain is for early digging.
