Snow Domain. Lorien Revealed, Farseek, and Into the North ensure a steady supply of land and let you reach Domain as early as turn 2. Use Lightning Bolt, Skred, and Tribal Flames to control opponents' creatures until you can unleash the archers and dragon knights for big attacks.

Domain turn 2? How? Show

Well, you can't actually use it until turn 3, but here's how to do it. You need a dual land and a basic land, they must include three different basic land types, and the Forest subtype needs to show up once between them. So Snow-Covered Forest and Volatile Fjord works, as does Snow-Covered Mountain and Rimewood Falls. You also need a "tutor land onto the battlefield" card like Into the North or Farseek.

Play your dual land tapped turn 1. Play your basic land untapped turn 2, then cast Farseek or Into the North. Find the dual land that includes the two types you don't have yet and put it into play. So if your land sequence is T1 Volatile Fjord, T2 SCForest, you want to find the Snowfield Sinkhole.

The sideboard is largely geared to controlling fast decks, with additional stalling and removal. This deck's low creature count makes Innocent Blood a one-sided proposition that deals with hexproof, ward, or protection, Rest for the Weary and Moment's Peace shut down the critical turns 2 and 3 for faster decks, and Breath Weapon clears out swarms of small creatures.
