Maze's End combo deck

Strategy

Basically you want to play Maze's End with 10 gates or more in the battlefield, this will be achieved like this:

-Early game: Creatures like Gatecreeper Vine, Krosan Wayfarer, Elvish Reclaimer and District Guide will help you search those sweet gates you need to win. Sorceries like Open the Gates or Sylvan Scrying will also help you.

-Mid game: The only problem about this deck is that we are seeking for a rare wincon, so it's very slow, but don't panic, we have Child of Alara to slow down the game for everyone. When we arrive at turn 5-6 we will have to make a decision, slow the game with child of alara and the synergy cards to destroy it Dredge, Altar's Reap, Costly Plunder, Tymaret, the Murder King (btw very cool card with child of alara) etc, or keep seeking for our gates with more expensive cards like Circuitous Route or Hour of Promise

-Late game: When having lots of lands it's time to go four our best chance to win on this deck Scapeshift let's try to sarch this son of a b*tch as fast as we can to put our gates in the game and activate Maze's end. (We can tutor it or draw cards Urban Evolution, Perilous Research (cool to kill child of alara too) , Lord Windgrace ...)

If we are stuck without finding our scapeshift we will need to stand like champs so we have a couple of heavy creatures that synergize with lands Omnath, Locus of Rage, Avenger of Zendikar, Ulvenwald Hydra, Titania, Protector of Argoth and various counters or versatile cards.

Resume: Search for your gates, go for scapeshift and activate Maze's End, if that doesn't work, survive with child of alara, big creatures, and slowing cards like Ghostly Prison or Glacial Chasm, HAVE FUN!
