Want to bring back Scapeshift to standard? Here's my take on how to use a really powerful card in creative ways!
Scapeshift and Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar along with some other value threats and removal cards. The key here is to be able to use The Mending of Dominaria or Tatyova, Benthic Druid with Scapeshift to quickly cycle through your deck to grab Multani and Muldrotha, the Gravetide and win through sheer pressure with an enormous creature that can be brought back endlessly due to the sheer amount of lands in play, while being able to play all your cards from the graveyard.
Jadelight Ranger is also included to help draw lands, and is an overall great card that helps challenging the board early in the game. It can also be brought back easily with Muldrotha later on and as such re-used over and over again.
The deck also features a number of prime removal and counterspell cards in the form of the very potent Vraska's Contempt, Fatal Push and Disallow to make sure you make it to that point where you are so deeply entrenched and filled with card advantage that your opponent simply cannot compete. Supreme Will is also included for the it's versatility and ability to get you out of a tight spot.
Crucible of Worlds is also included for obvious reasons, it helps bring back a cycle of Evolving Wilds or any other land you may have dumped in your graveyard, ensuring your mana pool keeps growing.
Ideas are welcome, I literally threw this list together in 15 minutes with all the ideas I could think of. Just a very classic control shell but with extra lands to allow Scapeshift, Crucible and Multani to really shine. I think so far the most obvious weakness is aggro, as with many of these midrange/control decks. Jadelight Ranger hopefully might provide some early presence to challenge 1 or 2 drop threats and slow down enough to get the life gain and bigger bodies on the board. Hungering Hydra can also be used early to respond to such aggression, it can always be used again later with Muldrotha or brought back using The Mending of Dominaria
UPDATE 05/07 - I felt the deck needed some better win cond. so I added in some RED with Banefire, which can easily take advantage of a board filled with Lands. Also added a bunch of Deserts and Memorials, one of each, to be able to sacc them then play them from the grave to have repeated value. Put in two
Ramunap Excavator
to have extra early game bodies and extra Crucible effects.
