Hello! This is my favourite deck to play! It is a toolbox/ramp/aggro deck. Play a lot of mana dorks and cast Marath early, then use him for spot removal. I like to play utility creatures that impact the board upon entering. What better way to do so than with Green Sun's Zenith, Natural Order, Birthing Pod and Chord of Calling. Ramp hard, upgrade your creatures for bigger badder ones and smash face with Marath or ping their creatures to death.

Sometimes I can play some disruption with cards like Dragonlord Dromoka, Gaddock Teeg, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, and Aven Mindcensor.

Synergies

• Marath, Will of the Wild + Opal Palace
• Marath, Will of the Wild + Kessig Wolf Run.
• Marath, Will of the Wild + Purphoros, God of the Forge I've won a few times off this one.
• Craterhoof Behemoth or Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite can turn your field of mana dorks into big beaters.
• Marath, Will of the Wild + Hardened Scales get +1/+1 counter on him
• Marath, Will of the Wild + Aura Shards get a 1/1 and destroy an artifact or enchantment
• Stoneforge Mystic to search out Basilisk Collar to strap to Marath
• Marath, Will of the Wild + Basilisk Collar shotgun destroy creatures
• Marath, Will of the Wild loves making 1/1's that can be eaten up by Skullclamp

Combo

• Mirror Entity + Karmic Guide + Reveillark + Acidic Slime blow up all the artifacts, enchantments and land you want (though I've never pulled this off yet)

Use Birthing Pod let's you chain into higher value targets.

I play this deck a lot and love tuning it. I love utility creatures with ETB effects to pull out with Birthing Pod. Please share any new ideas or ETB creatures that will add some great value!

Trying Guardian Project out as a better card draw engine than Mentor of the Meek. It seems to be a lot better.

I was playing some infinite combos with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, but the wins were not very satisfying so I took them out.

Thanks!
