Goal of the deck is to play a ton of druids (of which Rocco is one) and ramp to 8 mana on turn 4 or 5 and cast Rocco, tutoring Gilt-Leaf Archdruid. Steal peoples' lands, and then cast huge X-cost burn spells or massive creatures to close out the game! Very fun to have 7 druids up and holding the table hostage at the threat of stealing all their lands.

I've recently edited the deck and added some 'return from the graveyard' cards to bring Gilt-Leaf Archdruid back if she dies.

(For anyone curious about the name, there's an infamous point and click adventure game named Mystery of the Druids with a memeworthy boxart)

EDIT: 3/17- Added some more Forest support for Arbor Elf while retaining color fixing (Cabaretti Courtyard, Naya Panorama, Ash Barrens), Added some more druid support in Mutavault and Shigeki, some more protection in Grand Crescendo, additional ramp and recursion in Verdant Confluence, and an extra wincon in Staff of Domination (If you have a creature that makes 5 or more mana, you can make infinite mana with Staff of Domination, and use it to draw as many cards as you like until you draw a way to use all that mana)
