The strategy is to control the board with board wipes and an incessantly attacking Thantis, the Warweaver.

More about this deck

My playgroup doesn't play much control, has a house rule against infinite combos and I have a reputation for taking long turns (see my other decks). This deck is designed to obliterate them while taking quick turns. Between the control-y Thantis, the Warweaver, nine board-wipes and another four cards to recur those wipes, they'll hate me in a new kind of way ❤️

I tried to keep the cost low by cutting expensive cards. Swarmyard is $20 on its own and to me it's worth it, but it and Expedition Map and Sylvan Scrying can be cut for more instant-speed protection cards like Blossoming Defense.

Thematic Cards

These cards go with the "everything is attacking" theme:

Bloodthirsty Blade, Rite of the Raging Storm, Slumbering Dragon, Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs and Grismold, the Dreadsower

Card Advantage

Overall there are about ten cards in the deck that get more cards. These are the cards keep the deck going:

Return of the Wildspeaker, Garruk, Primal Hunter, Harvester of Souls, Deathreap Ritual, Moldervine Reclamation

And these cards get back strong spells:

Once and Future, Seasons Past, Reap the Past, Wildest Dreams

Board Wipes

There are nine board-wipes:

Starstorm, Bane of the Living, Massacre Girl, Blasphemous Act, Chain Reaction, Chandra's Ignition, Lavalanche, Rolling Earthquake, Savage Twister

Recovery

What's better than a board wipe spell? More board wipe spells!

Wildest Dreams, Reap the Past, Once and Future, Seasons Past

Commander Protection

Thantis wants to stay alive. These cards help keep it that way:

Sheltering Word, Blossoming Defense, Vines of Vastwood, Swiftfoot Boots, Lightning Greaves and Swarmyard.

Swarmyard can be tutored with Sylvan Scrying and Expedition Map, and these artifacts can be tutored with Hoarding Dragon.

So overall, there's about nine ways to get protection for Thantis, the Warweaver.

Card Swaps

When I ordered the cards from CardKingdom, some weren't in stock, so I got some others instead: Cultivate wasn't in stock. Prismatic Lens wasn't in stock. I ordered these cards instead: Vengeful Rebirth Creeping Renaissance Wolfwillow Haven Fertile Ground

Turns out my deck was only 99 cards as well, so I'll be putting these two in: Wolfwillow Haven, Fertile Ground
