Ramp, Ramp, RAMP!

Tatyova, Benthic Druid leads the charge for this mana-flood. She provides the right amount of interaction to draw you to victory.

The overall intent of the deck is to utilize some of the ramp spells and graveyard land recovery to flood the board with as many lands as possible, which in turn are there to turn into 2/2 creatures with Natural Affinity or 3/3 creatures with Jolrael, Empress of Beasts.

The added benefit of all the card draw from Tatyova lends to more lands on the field and the ability to dive through the deck quickly to get added benefits from Rampaging Baloths, Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse, or Zendikar's Roil and generating loads of token beasts, cats and elementals.

Whether it's an army of 58 lands on the field or a ton of tokens generated from above, it's time to give them a boost with End-Raze Forerunners. Kamahl, Fist of Krosa, or Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse. At this point there's no need to add Craterhoof Behemoth in there. Sure it would give the same effect as the three above with more killing power, but it's not really worth the price point.

While the flood is great and ramp or fixing is not necessary, I added sacrifice-effect lands to help bolster the graveyard. With a few ways to recover those lands, Crucible of Worlds, Splendid Reclamation, The Mending of Dominaria, it's worth killing a few. This is also why there is no unlimited hand size in this deck. When drawing a ton of cards from Tatyova or Horn of Greed, you want to be able to scrap a bunch of lands, just to get them back later. This is helped along with Dreamscape Artist, Elvish Reclaimer, and Silverglade Pathfinder, who all move lands to the graveyard generating more lands on the battlefield and draw/life triggers to go with it.

The recursion/removal package is very limited. Only including Flood of Tears, Beast Within, Berserk, and Force of Vigor for removal, and an Artisan of Kozilek and Eternal Witness as recursion.

The deck is limited on it's win conditions, but consistently finishes the game on top or getting wiped out by turn 7-10. In test plays with my group, it has drawn out as early as turn 6 to win with a Laboratory Maniac. The life gain is fairly good too, but can really only take advantage of an Aetherflux Reservoir one time. With how fast it has the potential to play because of Scapeshift and Boundless Realms expect to have an extremely dwindled library... quickly.
