Deck Description —Sept. 11, 2019
Nissa Tron. Using the mana dorks (Llanowar Elves , Birds of Paradise etc.) and ramp cards ( Three Visits , Rampant Growth etc.) Nissa, Who Shakes the World can hit the board fairly consistently on turn 3. +1 Nissa and cast Nissa's Triumph , which allows the fetching any of 3 lands from the deck. Depending on the match up's speed boards position etc. Urza's Mine , Urza's Power Plant and Urza's Tower may be fetched for mana ramp. Also Eye of Ugin , Dark Depths and Thespian's Stage may be fetched for pressure and also to search library for colorless threats which this deck is never short of. Additionally, Rogue's Passage enables unblockable damage as well as fetching Inkmoth Nexus if Awakening of Vitu-Ghazi is in hand to finish the game.
The deck's main threats are the eldrazi ( Emrakul, the Promised End , Kozilek, Butcher of Truth , Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and Void Winnower ) and the Blightsteel Colossus . When they hit the field they require a direct answer from the opponent which is not always present while their recursion via reshuffling themselves and fetching from the deck using Eye of Ugin makes it is quite possible to force your opponents run out of removal. The deck also has a Finale of Devastation to put your threats directly on the board with haste and giving them +X/+X as X mostly have to 10 or more to finish possibly multiple opponents at once. Chord of Calling enables to fetch the finishers at the opponent's end step to close the game. Using Dark Depths and Thespian's Stage , Marit Lage can be summoned to possibly hit for lethal. This threat as well as the other ones may be given haste and protection via Lightning Greaves or Swiftfoot Boots, however they cannot be fetched therefore must be drawn naturally.
With tons of mana generated via Nissa's passive and Urza lands, eldrazi may easily castable from hand hence triggering their on cast effects for removal (aka Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger ), for hand refill (aka Kozilek, Butcher of Truth ) and for turn steal (aka Emrakul, the Promised End ). Additionally the deck has 2 more colorless creatures for removal ( Duplicant and Meteor Golem ) which can be fetched via Eye of Ugin. To answer almost anything there is a Beast Within in the deck as well as to answer artifacts and enchantments there are Krosan Grip and Broken Bond in the deck.
There are some utility cards in the deck. Azusa, Lost but Seeking, Oracle of Mul Daya and Exploration are there to enable multiple land drops in a single turn to increase the ramping as well as commence the end game faster. Eternal Witness is used for graveyard recursion. Survival of the Fittest may be used to fetch mana dorks in the early game and to fetch threats in the late game. Finally, as an addition to be a threat, Void Winnower also blocks your opponents from casting even spells for added benefit.
Some games the deck does not even need to call its bombs as Nissa, Who Shakes the World 's +1 turns lands into 3/3 creatures which can punish slow plays.
Although, each card in this deck is in there for a reason, any comment and contribution are welcomed.
(PS: If you would like to suggest a card replacement please name a card to be taken out from the deck with its reasoning. Thanks :) )
