UEssentially, the goal of the deck is to use fast mana to get GAIV out asap, and then using stax effects and control, stall the game out until you can slam out a huge creature with stax effects i.e. Emrakul, jin-gitaxis etc and either close out the game with beats, or, use tutors to finish the game with a dramatic-scepter (or mystical tutor on scepter and fetching nexus of fate for infinite turns) and fishbowl/blue suns zenith or power artifact and using the infinite mana to stay ahead with control and make your opponents QQ. Currently, I am editing my physical list with cards that can make it better. Specifically atm, the deck struggles with card advantage so I have added a couple planes walkers that can keep the advantage for more than one turn.
