---

This deck, I think is fairly straight forward. It's an aristocrats-light deck. The goal is to power on to the mid and late game, using the mana generators such as Springbloom Druid and Burnished Hart to flood the field with "persistent" land resources. Once the mana is under control, use things like Intuition and Buried Alive to find cards like Archfiend of Depravity and Butcher of Malakir to suppress the board. After that Reef Worm and Mitotic Slime come in and synergize with things like Ghoulcaller Gisa and Mycoloth to swarm board and kill off everyone else.

Neat little Combos

Eternal Witness + Victimize (repeatable recur for 2 creatures every turn for 6 mana)

Ashnod's Altar + Mitotic Slime or Reef Worm (generates large amounts of colorless mana, add Pitiless Plunderer and your making 3 mana per sacrifice)

I know there are more combos in my deck than the few above, these are just some of the ones that I like. Though if you see them post them, as you may notice something I haven't. I'm also looking to improve and refine, and while EDHREC may hold some good suggestions I believe there is more out there. Also, if you know of "permanents" that do the same as some of the instants and sorceries please point them out.
