Draw, Kill, Untap, Repeat. Basically the idea is to play lots of low-cost spells, use one of Gnostro's tap abilities, and untap him multiple times. The end goal is to get Thousand-Year Storm on the field and go nuts the next turn or maybe even win assuming we have the mana to do so. There are plenty of abilities that create creatures from casting instants and sorceries. One of the main win conditions is getting Zada out and targeting him win one of the haste cantrips after multiple spells have been played. After tons of spells are played, Gnostro is going to kill lots of creatures depending on how many untap abilities are used, this should make an opponent or two open enough to swing for the win. This deck is still a WIP and might consider running a burn spell or two to get that win with Thousand-Year Storm. Another option I've (sadly) considered is taking out Thousand-Year Storm because it is a little overkill in my opinion and can also even be our downfall if we aren't careful enough. Although, I've really wanted to make a deck around it so it's staying for now.
