Marath, Will of the Wild Stax and combos. Manabase and blood moon package inspired by cEDH_tv's Najeela Bloodcraft

Looking to stall early game combo decks and eventually get our combos off. As mentioned above, this deck is inspired by the bloodcraft build, so all our lands are basics (and fetches). This lets us take full advantage of Blood Moon + Magus of the Moon + Ruination . Other than that, we have mostly classic whites taxes pieces to slow our opponents down, some tutors, and combo pieces. This deck isn't completely optimized for competitive play. Will need to do testing and, for budget reasons, isn't fully equipped.

Potential Combos in this deck are (There are more):

Combos without Marath:

• Goblin Bombardment + Karmic Guide + Saffi Eriksdotter - sacrifice Saffi Eriksdotter and choose Karmic Guide, sacrifice Karmic Guide for goblin bombardment hit 1 damage Karmic Guide returns to game, brings Saffi Eriksdotter from graveyard. rinse and repeat! Can do the same with:

• Goblin Bombardment + Karmic Guide + Reveillark

• Goblin Bombardment + Saffi Eriksdotter + Sun Titan
• Saffi Eriksdotter + Reveillark + Eternal Witness + goblin bombardment + return any card from grave with Eternal Witness

With Marath:

• Ashnod's Altar + Ivy Lane Denizen + Marath, Will of the Wild = Infinite colorless mana/ Add Purphoros, God of the Forge for infinite damage.

• Ivy Lane Denizen + Mana Echoes + Marath, Will of the Wild = infinite damage/token/mana

• Cathars' Crusade + Mana Echoes + Marath, Will of the Wild = infinite mana
• Ashnod's Altar + Cathars' Crusade + Marath, Will of the Wild = infinite mana
• Illusionist's Bracers + Mana Echoes + Marath, Will of the Wild = infinite mana

• Ashnod's Altar + Illusionist's Bracers + Marath, Will of the Wild = infinite mana

• Marath, Will of the Wild + Doubling Season + Ashnod's Altar + Ivy Lane Denizen = damage/token/mana

• Ashnod's Altar + Doubling Season + Marath, Will of the Wild = infinite damage/counters mana Explained: Need 1 mana to create an elemental token, Get extra token from Doubling Season . Sacrifice elemental token with Ashnod's Altar to get 2 mana, Use one of the mana floated to remove a counter from Marath, Will of the Wild and put 2 counters with Doubling Season on marath. Now with the another mana floating, remove 1 counter from marath and put 2 more elemental token in play. Sacrifice 2 elemental token with Ashnod's Altar to get 4 mana, and repeat this until you can kill your opponents with Marath's damage, or just make an million tokens. :)

Deckbuilding hasn’t always been my strong suit. So all feedback is appreciated.

FUTURE POTENTIAL UPGRADES

• Bloom Tender for Quirion Elves
• Worldly Tutor for Sylvan Tutor
• • Tundra / Plateau / Savannah
• Academy Rector for Sun Titan Potentially
• Phyrexian Altar for ??

More to come...
