"The Great Flood" is a Legacy Gates combo deck I built. This one's for all the jank players out there. Feedback is appreciated!

In this deck, I aim to achieve a win with Maze's End using a self-mill strategy. First I dump most of my library into my graveyard using Hedron Crab, Chronic Flooding and Otherworldly Gaze; then I cast Splendid Reclamation to return all my lands to the battlefield. Splendid Reclamation synergizes nicely with the crab since I can get multiple landfall triggers in a single turn and mill even more cards, which can then be returned again. With just a bit of luck, my graveyard spits out all the Gates I need to meet my win condition as quickly as possible.

The deck runs practically no creatures and often needs a bit of time to set up its finisher, so I included Moment's Peace, Fog and Devastation Tide to slow down the opponent until my passive self-mill engine bins all the cards I need to win. I also added Crop Rotation for a bit of land filtering that also stocks the graveyard in the bargain. Finally, because many key spells will likely end up in my graveyard due to milling, I'm running Mission Briefing and Dryad's Revival as an additional way to access them.
