Update 2: refined the list and budgetized it.

Update: No longer budget, I am currently updating the mana base and refining this build for multiplayer.

Essentially, the deck does two things: ramp and draw. Your goal is to assemble a position where you can wrath every turn or have counters up. Your main way of winning is assembling maze's end and using recursion to get your lands back or just make your opponents concede because they can never stick permanents. Approach of the second sun and a huge comet storm/villainous wealth can also get you there.

We also have the mother of all durdlefests: Scholar of the Ages, Burnt Offering and Stitch Together/Unburial Rites to make infinite mana and sink it into whatever. Comet storm, v-wealth and anything you can get your grubby Praetor's Grasp on.

Landing an early child+sac is usually pretty good. Shoutouts to Neoform and Eldritch Evolution to set up a good board position+a board wipe. The random dorky creatures help set up journey to eternity and ramp/draw. We can also end up in a Necromancy/Animate Dead+Kederekt Leviathan loop, so they can never stick permanents. Final Parting sets this up rather nicely.

This deck was build to take advantage of my local meta that is full of durdly permanent-based decks like dinosaurs and whatnot. It is very weak to land destruction/stax and graveyard hate. Fortunately for me, the local meta is slow to adjust and would rather bitch that this deck is OP. It will of course be OP if you don't attempt to interact with it, because this deck is better at durdling than the durdliest of builds. I am the durdlemancer, you shall either interact with me or I will prevent you from doing much of anything fun while I draw infinite cards and ramp towards a very slow maze's end win.

I would advise anyone in a battlecruiser ''no combo, no LD, just durdle'' meta to build something similar and PWN the table until they get the message and start putting moon effects/LD/grave hate in their decks.
