Deck Description

A deck concept I want to mess around with using Song of Creation to draw a massive hand and either conflagrate from graveyard to deal 20 or play thassa with an empty library. Uses lots of ramp and cheap cards to push for a win on turn 4 or 5.

EDIT: Added Life From the Loam and took out Gut Shot. Casting loams repeatedly after discarding your hand from Glorious End is a much more efficient way to spend the extra turn Glorious End gives you and allows far more draw and dredge for the value.

EDIT: Removed glorious end for weather the storm. If you dead-end it's better to storm into 48 life and then pay 2 to noxious revival a thassa onto the top of your deck than it is to get an extra turn.

Sideboard updates:
Surgical extraction for graveyard hate.
Vengevine for control decks as a replacement for conflagration burst damage.
Nature's claim for countering leylines, tormod's, and rest in peace.
Anger of the gods for aggro.

How to Play

Ramp as fast as possible into Song of Creation via pyretic rituals, growth spirals, manamorphose, and filter lands. On the next turn cast 0-cost spells like a madman and either get a huge hand and cast a conflagrate from graveyard or play Thassa with an empty library. If you get stuck, cast weather the storm for a ton of life and then a noxious revival to put thassa back in your deck before you discard your hand and wait for your next turn.

Thanks. It still feels rough and I need a sideboard. If you think of anything spicy let me know. My biggest concern right now is a sideboard set for an aggressive opponent that won't slow the deck too hard. I can't use phyrexian mana to close out the game if they push my health too low before turn 3...

Sweltering suns/anger the gods if you don't mind 3 mana, fog is cheaper, but 1 time use
