This is an 8-rack deck.

Creatures are mostly discard focused. Spells are discard & creature removal.

Kaya, Orzhov Usurper to hate the grave. And also their hangerback/walking balista. bye bye Hardened Scales

Dovin, Hand of Control to annoy non creature spells. Pay more to play your cantrip/artifacts. Pay more to cheat pheonix. Also stop permanent to do damage.

Disenchant maybe for Leylines or Prison Realm / Banishing Light , but Anguished Unmaking works too

Gideon of the Trials & your eldrazi are your combat damage win condition. Gideon also stops enemy permanent to damage you and stall the game for your racks.

Yahenni's Expertise can cast most cards in your deck.

It's either Kaya's Wrath or Bontu's Last Reckoning . Elspeth, Sun's Champion might work depending on the format speed. But kaya wrath give life.

The Wanderer might be better than leyline for it to protect planes from burn, but Hero's Downfall and Abrupt Decay still kill most permanent.

Added 2 more Field of Ruin to cast the eldrazis and also to fix colour. Can run Ashiok dreamrender and make them have one less land.
