Deck Description

Ideally, I want to be in control mode until I can drop a Sphinx that they can't deal with, or Roil Elemental and take their guys. Gomazoa deals with stuff I couldn't counter and can't disfigure. The crab provides a one drop chump block, at worst, at best he provides card advantage against decks that don't use graveyard. Even against an unearth/dredge style, he can trigger ravenous trap in game 2 or 3. Everything else is just control to stall the game, or harrow to speed up mana.

As for sideboard, ravenous trap deals with dredge and even emeria sometimes. Hideous end for a nonblack deck where disfigure isn't good enough. Spreading seas to deal with the rare zendikar lands like valakut and oran reif. Hexmage against planeswalkers or eternity vessel.
