Deck overview

This deck is a 4-color non-green landfall and creature cheat powerhouse helmed by Nissa, Leyline Tamer. By leveraging dense 1-2 CMC mana acceleration and land-drop facilitators like Walking Atlas and PuPu UFO, the deck accelerates to 7 mana by Turn 5. Casting Nissa and dropping a land triggers her unique landfall ability, drawing a card and putting a massive creature from the top of the library directly onto the battlefield. The creature suite consists of oppressive Praetors, Dragons, and Angels including Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Toxrill, the Corrosive, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, and Avacyn, Angel of Hope. Topdeck sculpting tools such as Brainstorm, Scroll Rack, and Brainsurge ensure the best bomb is always queued on top. Opponents face immediate board-wiping attrition and hand denial, allowing the deck to close the game rapidly through combat damage, extra attack steps from Moraug, Fury of Akoum, or an infinite landfall loop using Retreat to Coralhelm and Ruin Ghost.
