Deck Description

Mana ramp via landfall using the new Born of the Gods cards Karametra, God of Harvests and Courser of Kruphix.

Sideboard: Archetype of Endurance and Negates for opponents with lots of removal and burn which can really break up your momentum.

How to Play

Try and hold onto Terramorphic Expanses, Evolving Wilds and Harrows to trigger massive landfall bonuses late game, but use them early if you need the necessary landfall triggers to drop a huge creature or if you miss a land draw. Courser of Kruphix and Karametra should help you consistently play lands every turn.

Ideal mana-ramp:
Turn 1: Forest, Avacyn's Pilgrim

Turn 2:
Tap Forest & Avacyn's Pilgrim to play Lotus Cobra.
Any land = 2 mana (1 from Lotus Cobra & 1 from a Basic Land, or 2 from the Lotus Cobra if you played a fetchland and brought another land in tapped.) Ideally play another Avacyn's Pilgrim or Lotus Cobra for mana. You could also play Vinelasher Kudzu.

Turn 3:
If you played Avacyn's Pilgrim last turn and a land this turn you have 6 mana.
If you played a Lotus Cobra: 6 mana if you play a basic land, 7 mana if you played Terramorphic Expanse/Evolving Wilds (4 of which would be ANY color!).
You can basically play whatever you want. Preferably a Landfall bomb like Woodcrasher Baloth, Rampaging Baloths, Roil Elemental or Admonition Angel so you can take advantage of the lands next turn.

Turn 4: Play a land, trigger landfall, and play Karametra, God of Harvests. Then play a 1-drop to fetch another Forest or Plains, triggering landfall again. Then just keep the pressure on.
