Deck Description

My take on the recently unbanned Worldgorger Dragon in Legacy.
This is not the deck you want to play if you want to win big tournaments, but that being said, this deck can still put up a very good fight.

How to Play

It's strength lies in the speed and (surprisingly) it's consistancy.
All you need to go off is a way to put Worldgorger into your graveyard (Cabal / Thoughtseize yourself, Entomb) and a reanimate spell (Animate Dead, Necromancy, Dance of the Dead).

The way the combo works is, if you cast Animate Dead (for example, any enchant-reanimate spell will work) on a Worldgorger Dragon whilst it is in the graveyard, the dragon will be reanimated and trigger the "Comes into play"-effect.

This effect tells us to exile all other permanents you control, besides Worldgorger.

The effect resolves, and everything is removed (including the animate-spell).
Wording on animate dead tells us that the target is only reanimated for as long as animate dead is in play, which it is not after Worldgorger resolves.

This resulst in Worldgorger dying, thus triggering the other effect, which happens when he is put into a graveyard from play.

The effect brings back everything that was exiled with the Dragon (including animate dead).
So you target the Dragon with animate dead again, and the same thing happens.
This time, however, your lands are untapped, since they are put back into play untapped. So in response to the exile-effect, you tap your lands for mana and repeat this process until you have as much mana as you need.

The wincon is to either mill them out with one of the four mill-lands, or exile their Library with Oona, or just Cunning Wish for a Stroke of Genious.

The Stroke of Genious wincon is actually done 100% in instant-speed, so you can go off in response to whatever your opponent might do (Don't tap out bro, it ain't good for you!).
