Welcome to sirbar's four color loam pox!

The goal of 4 color loam is to grind the game out via hand destruction and land destruction and eventually swing with a Knight of the Reliquary.

---

Resource Denial: Show

Raven's Crime- This is a great card in here. Early on it will serve as a tempo play, often stripping three cards from your opponets hands. Late game it clears the way of counters and removal spells for your win-cons.
Molten Vortex - Wipes the board of small creatures or can stack to kill a Tarmogoyf.

Abrupt Decay- The best targeted removal spell in modern. Simply meant for utility. Does not synergise with the deck. After sideboard this will be used to tag graveyard hate.
Ghost Quarter- Land destruction! Everyone loves it! Kills man lands. Kills tron pieces. Kills Eldrazi Temples. Against Jund and other basic light decks, this card becomes a Strip Mine
Flame Jab - Serves much of the same purpose as Molten Vortex . While it does one less damage for the same cost, Flame Jab interacts with dredge better.
Path to Exile- This is a catch all. One of the main reasons to get into white.

---

Recursion: Show

Life from the Loam- This card is the focus of the deck. Gain value and fill your graveyard with this through global effects, flashback cards, manlands, and retrace spells.
Haakon, Stromgald Scourge- Gives access to a milled over Knight of the Reliquary. Usually will not be cast until you are ready to win.

---

Utility: Show

Vengeful Pharaoh- Creature removal with out using cards or mana. The clause of returning Vengeful Pharaoh to the top of your deck is meaningless if you are dredging.
Lingering Souls- Value. Really that's it. This card is great against Abzan and Jund which are ever so prevalent. Awsome interaction with dredge and your discard outlets.
Faithless Looting- This card is essential to getting your engine started. It finds the pieces your are missing and dumps the extra dredgers in your hand to be used again.

---

Win-Cons: Show

Raging Ravine- Your only manland. After the first attack this card is out of bolt range and trample over most blockers.

Knight of the Reliquary- Combos well with Haakon, Stromgald Scourge. Usually a one swing kill. This is your preferred way to win.

And that's the deck...
