Deck Description

Traded for a tendrils of agony, and challenged myself to build an EDH around it, without going infinite. Here it is. Turns out Gaea's Cradle is really good in this deck.

How to Play

Play Gaea's Cradle -> Storm off turn 4-6

There are a ton more interactions (earthcraft + nettle sentinel), but Gaea's Cradle makes the deck a ton more forgiving. Once you're drawing 2 cards per 1-drop and getting 1 mana, you can more or less draw your deck. Then it can put out several thousand damage.

One piece of disruption doesn't do much to slow it down. The second or third though, can make it stumble a bit if timed correctly. However, the first time you play against people their threat analysis is usually way off because this is such a weird EDH deck so you're usually rather ignored until you simply kill off the table.

Note: The actual winning turn can take over 10 minutes to complete, so playing this deck against people frequently will make them displeased. That being said people are usually amused by the spectacle of their loss the first time it happens.
