Maze's End Control

Commander / EDH Control

Yada


Nobody likes playing agianst this deck. Its incredibly toxic to a meta where people frown upon land destruction. it is an incredibly powerful lands control deck that wins primarily with Maze's End (Scapeshift is the real winning card). if a single player is threatening winning the game you can kill them with Door to Nothingness, and in a pinch Child of Alara is a very fast commander damage clock with Kessig Wolf Run and all your lands backing it up.

Keep in mind that Child of Alara has to go to the graveyard instead of the command zone for the death trigger to happen.

Wargate tends to be for specific lands like Glacial Chasm, Maze of Ith, Volrath's Stronghold, or High Market. Alternatively it gets Future Sight.

Remember Glacial Chasm does not prevent LIFE LOSS and you can still be drained to death by black decks.

you can softlock the game by recurring Child of Alara every turn with Volrath's Stronghold, blowing it up with High Market, and then activating mazes end.

Alchemist's Refuge lets you play Door to Nothingness and Scapeshift at the end of your last opponent's turn, then untap and with with Maze's End or kill someone with Door to Nothingness

Prismatic Omen with Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and Vesuva also makes for a very good Scapeshift win condition as it is easy to get a lot of damage.

with Zuran Orb in play, you can tap all your lands for mana, sacrifice them to gain a bunch of life, and then cast Splendid Reclamation with your floating mana to get all your lands back. This also draws you a bunch of cards with The Gitrog Monster.

Splendid Reclamation is a very good card as it can ramp you (by getting back fetches you played on the first few turns), and also shores up your deck against hate like Ruination. it is also common for lands to be discarded or end up in the graveyard in other ways.

Cards that should be cut to make the deck cheaper (in order of first to last):

The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale

Moat

ABUR Dual lands (replace with the cycling duals, buddy/check lands, or even basics)

Wasteland

Dark Depths

Potential replacements:

Villainous Wealth

Sylvan Library

Unexpected Results

Dust Bowl
