My take on Lord Windgrace. Suggestions are ALWAYS welcome and appreciated!

Do you love playing around with lands, and watching your pesky blue opponents with their pesky counterspells in their hands trembling because LANDS ARE NOT SPELLS HAHA. (It still hurts a lot when one of our spells gets countered. >.<)

All jokes aside, our feline Lord Windgrace is MY favourite lands matter commander, that's because I don't like playing broken combos (I'm looking at you, The Gitrog Monster ) and I love our commander's lore, from the old Urza storyline. Keep in mind, he's one of the Nine titans AND ALSO HE HAS TWO HEARTS. What's not to like about him? But I digress.

STRONG INTERACTIONS

So, where to begin, this is a deck based around making value from... strong interactions! Let's take a quick look at the most important ones.

1. Lord Windgrace + any lands in your graveyard: This puts you ahead. And I mean AHEAD. if you manage to crack two fetches before playing the cat, you're going to essentially be at turn 7 the moment you drop our commander on turn 5. Talk about ramp!

2. Korvold, Fae-Cursed King + any sacrifice effect: Guess what, this includes lands! Crack a fetchland, you get to draw a card and Korvold gets pumped. Squandered Resources ? Sac a land for mana, a card and +1/+1 on our dragon noble. Need I talk about Scapeshift ?

3. Prismatic Omen + Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle or Cabal Coffers and/or Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth : This means business. A lot of mana with the coffers or a bolt anywhere you want per land played.

4. Craterhoof Behemoth + Avenger of Zendikar or Field of the Dead or Titania, Protector of Argoth : You win the game. And you get to say THAT'S A LOTTA DAMAGE.

5. Scapeshift + Ob Nixilis, the Fallen and/or Field of the Dead and/or Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle : This will basically end games. That's even better if you pair our volcano or field with Vesuva

6. Speaking of Vesuva : It is a friend of any land we play. But it's best friends with Field of the Dead , Cabal Coffers , Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle or Bojuka Bog .

7. The classic Thespian's Stage wuth Dark Depths : This needs no explaination.

8. Crucible of Worlds or Ramunap Excavator with any land: Playing lands from your graveyard doesn't decrease your hand size, thus giving you card advantage!

And these are just some!

RAMP PACKAGE

Let's quickly talk about ramping in this deck. I wrote "quickly" because I think it's pretty obvious stuff.

• We got things like Nature's Lore and Three Visits to grab any Forest from our deck, which includes Bayou , Taiga , and the shocklands.

• We got Azusa, Lost but Seeking , Exploration and Oracle of Mul Daya who give us plenty of additional land drops every turn.

• Lotus Cobra is a personal favourite of mine, netting us two mana of any color if we play a fetchland and crack it afterwards. It's insane. Be ready to see it removed very often.

• Squandered Resources is perfect for this deck. Just be careful not to overextend with it.

• Tempt with Discovery if anyone at the table chooses to get a land from this, even just one person, it means you're getting ANY two (or more) UNTAPPED lands from your deck to the battlefied. Just too good.

• Orcish Lumberjack is INSANE in a Windgrace deck. It allows up to play our commander as early as turn two.

• My favourite. Into the North . Not a lot of people are playing this card. This puzzles me. It can fetch any of our Snow-Covered basic lands, Dark Depths or even the awesome Mouth of Ronom .

• To wrap the ramp package up, we have Birds of Paradise and Llanowar Elves .

TUTORS

Everyone knows that drawing cards in a game of Magic is great. Why not choose the cards you are going to draw? Well, tutoring is better than drawing!

Here are some of the tutors we're running.

• Every fetchland is essentially a tutor for a color we need.
• Ulvenwald Hydra and Crop Rotation give us any one land from the deck. Crop is awesome because it's an instant. Amazing with lands such as Bojuka Bog in response to anyone who wants to do sheanigans with a graveyard, or perhaps Glacial Chasm or Maze of Ith to prevent your own death.
• Gamble is one of my favourite cards, tutoring anything you want from your deck and discarding a card at random afterwards. With an empty hand, it's like an Entomb .
• Speaking of Entomb , it's a tutor as well! For any land that we want to reanimate with our Lord Windgrace , a big creature to raise with Reanimate or just a Life from the Loam .
• The awesome Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor .

DRAWING CARDS

We all love drawing cards! Here are some ways our deck allows us to do that.

• First and foremost, our commander lets us draw cards, often two at a time.
• The classic Sylvan Library , brainstorming every draw phase.
• Tireless Tracker gives us a Clue everytime a land enters the battlefield on our side. And every Clue gives us a card when sacrificed!
• We have the Horizon Land Nurturing Peatland .
• Nissa, Vital Force 's emblem just wins us the game. The amount of advantage it gives us is overwhelming.
• The unholy frog The Gitrog Monster draws us a card everytime a land enters our graveyard from anywhere... There are a lot of sick combos with it, but we're not playing that kind of deck. (Actually, there is one...)

REMOVING THREATS

Our Jund homeland allows a lot of removal spells. Here's a list of what I'm playing.

• Strip Mine and Wasteland . The infamous duo. Pair them with our commander, Crucible of Worlds or Ramunap Excavator for added bonus, and with "play additional land per turn" for even more bonus!
• Mouth of Ronom . A very underappreciated card. It can remove some major threats on the table. 4 Damage is something few creatures can resist.
• Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle : a bolt for each land entering our battlefield? Yes please. This only works if you have Prismatic Omen on the board.
• Bane of Progress Do you hate artifacts and enchantments? This guy is your friend.
• Reclamation Sage : Disenchant on a stick.
• Abrupt Decay : Its immunity to countermagic makes it one of my favourite removal for this deck.
• Assassin's Trophy : It can hit anything, anytime. For 2 mana. EPIC.
• Chaos Warp removes instantly any permanent. Somebody may prefer Beast Within but I like the added fun.
• Damnation , Toxic Deluge are some classic wraths.
• Cindervines is a stax effect with a Disenchant on it.

STAX and DEFENSE

Staxing your opponents, our defense plan. What do we have here...

• To prevent lethal damage: Glacial Chasm and Constant Mists . The Mist is a very strong card. It can easily shut down a lot of strategies. It's almost incredible what it can do.
• Stranglehold . To answer the barbarian's riddle you must choke to death first. Love this card. No more additional turns AND NO MORE TUTORS for our opponents. This even stifles fetchlands. Incredible.
• Sylvan Safekeeper acts as a sac outlet for out lands (Titania loves this) and he can protect our most important creatures by giving them shroud.
• Cindervines can shut down the "I play all my deck" decks and acts as a removal for artifacts and enchantments.

ENDING THE GAME

Now. To establish our Lord's dominance. Here are the game-ending threats.

• Dark Depths . Who doesn't like a 20/20 avatar?
• Jokulhaups . Destroy everything and let enchantments and planeswalkers survive. Then start recurring your lands with Lord Windgrace .
• Torment of Hailfire . This combined with the mana produced by Cabal Coffers is lethal for your opponents. Same thing with Kessig Wolf Run
• Craterhoof Behemoth plus some creatures wins you the game.
• Ob Nixilis, the Fallen or Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle combined with Scapeshift closes the game.
• Avenger of Zendikar and Korvold, Fae-Cursed King can hit face for lethal pretty easily.

To conclude this """primer""" I'd like to thank EkoLogiko and Matteo for some great suggestions... This deck would never have been this good without your help, so thank you.

Let the Lord's spirit live on... One with his Land, Urborg.
