Deck overview

This Bant deck uses Chulane, Teller of Tales as a potent draw and ramp engine to execute rapid creature storm and landfall combo lines. By casting low-cost mana dorks on Turns 1 and 2, the deck deploys Chulane by Turn 3 or 4. Once Chulane is active, self-bouncing creatures such as Shrieking Drake and Whitemane Lion pair with landfall mana engines like Lotus Cobra and Tireless Provisioner to draw the entire library and play every land in the deck. The deck closes games in the same turn via Laboratory Maniac or a massive combat step using Concordant Crossroads and Craterhoof Behemoth. Strong proactive shielding from Grand Abolisher, Silence, and Boromir, Warden of the Tower protects the combo turn from opposing interaction, while cards like Aura Shards dismantle opposing boards.
