Hello all!

I recently read an article on ChannelFireball's website featuring this deck, and I have just modified it slightly to play a little better against Planeswalkers, which the deck feels a tad weak against.

Anyways, the idea for the deck is to use Dictate of Kruphix to draw extra cards, to leave more cards in the opponent's hand (more on this in a bit), and also leave some good devotion. Then ultimately the deck drops 2 Master of Waves on the battlefield, and the next turn throws down a Scourge of Fleets, sweeping their field, while simultaneously leaving a ton of creatures on your side to finish the job. If you can't finish it outright, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx can generally tap for buckets of mana, allowing you to continue to play spells (as well as being a bit deceptive when it comes to using counters or even AEtherspouts, while their hand will now be filled, and they shouldn't be able to play out everything they have, hopefully being forced to discard some important cards.

Ultimately, choosing to use Dictate of Kruphix can come back to bite you, but more often than not, being able to flash it in at the end of their turn 3 can get you a bit more for your money.

The sideboard has a number of 1 ofs for a variety of different options, but overall, I'm not completely happy with it, and I'd like to see some feedback on things I could add to it.
