Every land does indeed count
This deck uses Seismic Assault and Borborygmos Enraged as a winCondition while Life from the Loam feeds lands into the engine. You can also win with an army of elemental critters from Young Pyromancer og just swing with a huge Knight of the Reliquary. if Haakon, Stromgald Scourge lands in you graveyard, you're able to play knight any time they might die. Sun titan will also be able to bring pyromancers, knight and seismic assault back from the graveyard, or just land if there are no better targets.
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and Iona, Shield of Emeria are incredible targets for Unburial Rites. elesh norn will just devestate your oppponts critters and boosts your own elementals and spirits, making for a quinck kill. or just revive Iona and win the game right there. not being able to cast spells of a specific color is just evil, especially at turn four.
Mana is ussually not a problem. lands aplenty, and Knight of the Reliquary stands in as a Llanowar Elves or someother mana-critter. And on the flipside he gets bigger everytime he does it. in the mid to late game, you're easily looking at a 12/12 or greater. in this deck, he is a better choice than Tarmogoyf which might put it into perspective how great this guy is.
Flame Jab
, Raven's Crime and Worm Harvest arr good ways to get rid of lands you don't need.
Flame Jab
is the most useles of theese, but it can do some significant damage in the early game, and if you have played Young Pyromancer you can always get some tokens. Sometimes it might even be better to do one damage with
Flame Jab
than 2 with Seismic Assault just because of the extra elementals.
The deck tries to be extreemly opressive against the opponent, while giving it self plenty of possibilties to build a wincon up.
The sideboard is basically just a toolbox to add anything you might need especially artifact and enchantment removal as the deck falls behind in this department. Slaughter Games is a very versatile card, enabeling you to just remove cards which you're not a huge fan of from your opponents deck.
