Chulane is an awesome value engine, who snowballs quite quickly. The deck is built around creature value; drawing cards and gaining mana along the way. Eventually it reaches a critical point where it is easy to form a loop with a myriad of creatures and win the game in a few different ways.

Notable Interactions:

• Using Neoform on a dork to get Incubation Druid is an easy way to get the powerful card online and advance your position.

• When it comes up Mystic Remora can be looped with Sun Titan for a ton of value.

• Feaburron Elder and Incubation druid combined with Freed from the Reel is pretty self explanatory and is an efficient infinite mana combo which can wrap up a game.

• The deck runs 12 basic lands for Earthcraft which combined with Shrieking Drake will draw through the deck with Chulane putting more lands into play along the way.

• Village Bellringer works with Chulane and a creature that makes 3 mana will draw through the deck and drop a bunch of lands.

• Yisan, the Wanderer Bard is a slower line of play but can assemble a win. Quirion Ranger, Temur Sabertooth and a 3 mana producing creature will draw through the deck and make a large amount of mana.

• Palinchron and Gaea's Cradle loops in similar ways as other loops.

• Zendikar Resurgent is another value engine that can generate massive amounts of value and does loop with Panlichron.

The main win conditions of the deck are Mirror entity and Walking Ballista. Usually when working with one of the creature loops you will draw a large amount of cards but to prevent drawing through the deck removing Chulane or using the bounce ability to return it to your hand will allow you to make as much mana as needed with out decking out.

In the event of the main outs being unavailable or unable to close a game there are plenty of other options. Some of these are looping creatures to do this. Eternal witness allows for spells to be looped by bouncing it and playing it. Typical options are countering another spell with Swan Song in order to make tokens. Venser, Shaper Savant is also a great card that can be looped by bouncing resulting in removing your opponents board lands and all is a great way of securing that the swans will stay around to swing in the next turn. Knight of Autumn can also be used under these conditions to gain as much life as you want. This is a convoluted way of closing out a game but is worth noting as a way of winning.

The deck has been fun to build and is a working progress. Certain cards have been excluded such as Bloom Tender and Survival of the fittest for personal reasons (mostly because I only own one copy and play it in other decks. So instead of constantly swapping back and forth I just decided to go with other options). Feel free to add in any of those in if your looking to optimize or something along those lines.

Would love to hear your comments about card decision! Making the deck better is always a goal. Also if you see a cool interaction that I didn't go over feel free to post it and let others know.

Happy BANTing!
