Deck Description

Basically a more expensive (money-wise) version of my ooze deck.

This is essentially a green ramp deck with craterhoof as the endpoint but it can also function without craterhoof.

The ramp from cultivate and the elves combined with acidic slime puts far ahead of your opponents in terms of mana and with combo pieces such as deadeye, progenitor mimic, or parallel lives, you can eliminate your opponents entire mana base.

The point of the deck is the create a huge difference in available mana between you and your opponent(s) in order to cast game-enders quickly and force your opponent to play completely reactively.

How to Play

The first 2 and sometimes even 3 turns will be devoted to ramping. Turn one Llanowar elf/elvish mystic and turn 2 cultivate (considering dropping it for harrow since it's instant speed) allows you to play acidic slime or any other 5 drop on turn 3. From this point it's very easy to race your opponent since you can play much fatter creatures. This scenario happens more often than you think a "combo" requiring 3 cards would.

Deadeye, Sylvan primodial, and Progenitor mimic prevent your opponent from ever coming back if they resolve by nuking their remaining lands, artifacts, etc. and by just being beaters.

Craterhoof usually ends the game if you have something on the field already. If that something includes deadeye or progenitor mimic than your opponent is really, really dead.
Plasm capture allows you to play genesis wave for a huge X or a big creature early on in addition to countering a detrimental spell.

Deck discussion for There is so much beauty

This seems like a great idea and a good deck. It might need to reconsider the parallel lives since you only have four sources of tokens which makes it a dead card. I think this deck could benefit from.something like explore or harmonize to draw cards since card advantage will allow you to keep ahead of your opponent. With all the mana you might easilybrun out of cards to play. Primeval titan would also be. Great option

I used to run gelatinous genesis too which is why it's in there. I guess I never really reconsidered it after taking gelatinous genesis out. Thanks.

I put in liege of the tangle to make use of the large number of lands this deck produces as creatures. I want to add harmonize now that you brought it up but I'm not sure what to take out.

I definitely like this deck. I see a lot of possible applications for what this thing could so in a modern format which other than affinity can be disrupted so easily by a deck like this.

I designed something based off this (I hope you don't mind) and I would love to hear your opinion on http://
