Deck Description

Not sure if people realize this, but Misthollow Griffin + Food Chain = Infinite mana . You remove the Griffin, and then play him with 1 floating. You continuesly do this.

With mana ramp, utilizing Exploration and Birds you should be either able to control the playing field for a few turns putting you at either 1-2 turns ahead of them. Usually response set ups, but you have;

Worldly Tutor = Grabs the Griffin.
Brainstorm = Dig for Food Chain and Griffin, along with the two win condition's in the deck.
Exploration = Puts you a land drop ahead of the opponent. Turn 1, Exploration, another land, Birds of Paradise. Pass.
Maga = Instant Death. That triple black is demanding, but with 11 sources of Black Mana in the deck I think it's fine.
Emrakul = Usual game winner. You'll be playing him normally so you have an extra turn.

Side board options are usual;

Blightsteel is there just in the event that they can resist an Emrakul or a Maga. Trygon is there to beat face and get rid of stupid things like Chalice, Jitte, and Swords. Another Wasteland in case they run a deck heavy with non basics. Flashfreeze for R/G combo. Daze for another counter effect, and Cavern against other counter spell heavy decks.

Overall, the deck could be improved a lot but I like it. It's INCREDIBLY consistent where I used it and I'm starting to love Griffin even more.

It's really too bad you can't pour the mana into creatures abilities and the like.

Unfortunately, no. Really, this is supposed to be a deck that plays it's bombs and wins. Emrakul pretty much win's a game if you have a confident response base behind you and Maga instantly kills them.

Yeah, I heard people talking about this combo before the set was even released. I was kind of interested since I already owned a Food Chain, but I didn't follow through with it. I don't think there's anything I can suggest to make this deck better (except adding a Black Lotus :P).

Blast Lotus can make just about any deck better. Unfortunately it's banned
