The deck aims for long game where the opponent is buried to card advantage. It can also win on the spot by casting Empty the Pits but its rarely needed. The deck has great top decks when empty handed, one good draw and suddenly you have 3-4 cards in hand and a small board presence.

I would like to get more 1 offs since there is so much digging and card selection that having more options should make the deck a lot better.

The manabase could also need some improvements. I would like to have some filter lands to get more untapped lands for turns 4 and later.
