Deck Description

This deck is for you if:

You enjoy explosive plays that impact the entire board
You like getting fast mana
You like adding an element of randomness to the game
You can commit to Gonti

This deck came to me after a draft with Gonti which I was able to constantly regrowth Gonti, eventually taking all my opponents win conditions out of their deck. After that, I fell in love. I made this deck purely to have as much fun playing magic as I could, a lot of powerful cards, but using them in such a way to make the game as enjoyable as possible.

How to Play

You ideally want to set up some defenses, you have the option of generating a lot of fast mana, but you need to do so in a way that you aren't a threat. Your deck is loaded with board wipe effects to stop any big threats from hitting the table, as well as maze of ith to try and win over some of the players in your game so they don't attack you, at least straight away, there are a bunch of creatures they can come back, so your opponents won't see much use in hitting you, Gonti himself as a deathtouch blocker generally will dismay some attacks.

What you really want to do, if you enjoy having as much fun as I do, is tutor up the conjuror's closet and put it into play, then be amazed as your deck full of etb's starts creating you a big board-state. Be diplomatic with Gonti, try pick on the most powerful player a bit to either:
a) disable their win-conditions
b) try find cards that will make for an awkward encounter should you be disrupted.

There are big fatties, such as eldrazi and even a blightsteel to end the game if you want to get into the red zone, or you can constantly wrath the board, and play a rise of the dark realms and reanimate every creature (which might kill your opponents because Gray Merchant will drain your opponents for a LOT)

If the game is going slowly, it's an idea to Gonti a green player to try thin out some more land from your deck (or worst case, you're mana starved).

You're capable of being resilient, and can pack a mighty punch in an instant. Have fun!
