The strategy of the deck is to get as much mana as possible to play Ajani, valiant protector and Nicol Bolas, The Deceiver. I use cards like Cultivator's Caravan, Oasis Ritualist, Pyramid of the Pantheon, and Painted Bluffs to give me mana of any color. I use visage of Bolas, Ajani's Aid, and Diabolic tutor to draw Nicol Bolas, the deceiver and Ajani, Valiant Protector. Once I have Ajani, valiant protector out I use his +2 ability to give creatures, preferably dreamstealer so my opponent has to discard more cards when I deal damage to them, two +1/+1 counters. That boosts my creatures' power up, which makes them a stronger creature and enables Rhonas the indomitable to attack and block. I also have Dagger of the Worthy to help enable Rhonas the indomitable to attack and block. Once I get Nicol Bolas, the deceiver out I use his +3 ability to make my opponents sacrifice a permanent, discard a card, or take 3 damage. I keep using that to get rid of my opponent's control. After I build up enough loyalty counters on him I strike big with his -11 and deal 7 damage to my opponent, while attacking them with my creatures. That also allows me to draw 7 cards, which lets me make seven 1/1 flying and haste insect tokens with the locust god. If one of my planeswalkers die I can use dark intimations to bring them back to my hand. I also have torment of Hailfire as a back up plan if I can't get Bolas out.

Any Criticism is welcome, as long as it is constructive. If you like the deck I would greatly appreciate an upvote!
