Strategy

The goal is to play like a control deck with an inevitable combo kill as the game progresses to the end game. The deck interacts against creatures, permanents and spells on the stack early and then uses its high density of powerful selection spells between Memory Deluge and Mystical Teachings to gradually accrue card advantage. As the opponent runs out of resources we can proceed to a combo finish with Wilderness Reclamation to generate additional mana, in order to cast Blue Suns Zenith for draw most of our library.

Kill Conditions

During the endgame we have 2 primary kill conditions:

1. Draw our entire library leaving just Blue Sun's Zenith and Nexus of Fate and take infinite turns to kill with a Creeping Tarpit or an Ice-Fang Coatl
2. Get all 3 Wilderness Reclamation's into play and use Blue Sun's Zenith to make our opponent draw their whole library.

Issues for Tournament Play

The strategy revolves around the game lasting many turns and involves very complicated decision trees both with card selection and with mana generation. As a result, not only is it mentally challenging to pilot but it's also is a marathon. There are almost no deterministic kills before turn 8 meaning there are no easy shortcuts you can apply before then. When playing this deck its almost like you are playing against 2 opponents, the other being the clock. Unfortunately if you are paired against a slower player that can eat into your time and may rush you to make suboptimal decisions.
