Full Descripton in Progress

== Patron Of The Moon ==

Patron of the Moon is one of the most unique commanders in all of MtG. With its color bending land centric ability being deceptively powerful, it's easy to engineer a win out of nowhere using this incredibly powerful commander.

== The Strategy ==

Patron is primarily a combo deck where the end result is to mill your opponents out in a single turn. You do this by generating infinite landfall with either Hedron Crab or Altar of the Brood in play. Alternate win strategies include infinite landfall + Windrider Eel and infinite spirit tokens with Meloku the Clouded Mirror, and, if all else fails, the commander has 5 power in the air, don't be afraid to bash in.

Counter, Tutor, and Draw until your able to combo out and just try not to die. the defensive cards are there to help and are often more important than combo pieces.

== The Combo==

Required Parts:(in play)1x Patron of the Moon1x Amulet of Vigor1x Gauntlet of Power or Extraplanar Lens1x Method of returning a land to your hand, 1 mana per land Meloku the Clouded Mirror , Trade Routes , Flooded Shoreline , or Oboro Breezecaller1x Payoff Altar of the Brood or Hedron Crab

Alternative: Patron + Uyo, Silent Prophet + ( Turnabout or Time Spiral ) + Mana Doubling = infinite Mana/Landfall

Start by floating four mana with two islands, then, use two to return them to your hand. you have two mana floating and two lands in hand. use one mana to activate Patron's ability. put the lands back into play, they untap thanks to amulet of vigor. You've generated 1 blue mana. you have infinite mana and landfall, mill everybody out.

== The Best Cards ==

  1. Amulet of Vigor is the most important card in the deck. do not play for value if theres even a remote chance of it dying.

  2. Snapcaster Mage gives such incredible value. It isn't necessary for the deck to work but synergizes extremely well with cards like Capsize

  3. Surveyor's Scope gets better the bigger the pod, but even in a three player pod being able to accelerate three lands can land you super far ahead of anybody else.

== The Defense ==

  1. Counterspell. Forbid, Muddle the Mixture, Cryptic Command, Thwart, Time Stop, Counter freakin' spell. this deck has all the answers. use them only against spells that threaten you and your ability to win.

  2. Propaganda really limits your opponents ability to attack you.

  3. Flooded Shoreline this card is absolutely bananas. when you're able to turn the negative of returning lands into an upside you know your doing something right.

  4. Cyclonic Rift Kederekt Leviathan the "Get-Wrecked" Leviathan can be a devastating setback to the opposition. make sure to float a bunch of mana and recast the mana doublers afterwords. and rift is just a blue deck staple at this point in magic. (NOT INCLUDED IN CURRENT ITERATION)

  5. Glacial Chasm Hands down best "shields up!" card in the deck. the ability to play this at instant speed can really throw off game plans. and being able to return it to your hand to reset or even ignore the upkeep cost. Maze of Ith echoes this sentiment

== Key Interactions ==

  1. Capsize + Snapcaster Mage to reuse your graveyard

  2. Memory Jar + Consecrated Sphinx to draw up to 49 cards in a 4 player game

  3. Merchant Scroll Tutors Muddle the Mixture Tutors Vedalken AEthermage Tutors Trinket Mage Tutors Amulet of Vigor or Altar of the Brood. The combo parts are almost always within reach.

== How To Mulligan ==

Snap Keeps: Snapcaster Mage, Consecrated , Surveryor's Scope, Cyclonic Rift, Extraplanar Lens

Snap Shuffle: Kederekt Leviathan, Stormtide Leviathan, Omniscience, Kozilek, the butcher of truth, Sunder

OGW UPDATE:-Blighted Cataract+Crumbling Vestige

Cataract has been underwhelming, and Vestige has some combo potential with amulet of vigor.
