Typical Mayael the Anima deck. The goal is to play Mayael and use her ability as often as possible. Each creature is a part of your tool box, they all do something besides being big (aside from Ghalta, Primal Hunger but big scary T-Rex). Use Planar Bridge to cheat out whatever creature you want, but it also hits planeswalkers, lands, enchantments, and artifacts. Illusionist's Bracers + Mayael the Anima is a powerful combo. You get 2 activations of her ability for 6 mana every turn, that definitely tips the board in your favor. Ruric Thar, the Unbowed is brutal against non-creature strategies. Just getting rid of him will usually cost someone 6 life. Blood Sun is new in the deck, but I realized that, while it is active, lands lose their "enter the battlefield tapped" abilities. Boros Garrison + Gruul Turf + Selesnya Sanctuary don't bounce other lands, but still tap for 2 mana while Blood Sun is on the battle field.
