Deck overview

This deck is a four-color Landfall battlecruiser strategy built around Nissa, Leyline Tamer. By foregoing green, the list leverages artifact ramp and white land-catchup spells to hit its seven-mana commander on Turn 6. Upon entering, every land drop replaces itself in hand while cheating massive game-ending creatures directly from the library onto the battlefield. The creature suite features devastating bombs like Galactus, Devourer of Worlds, Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Archon of Cruelty, and Balefire Dragon, quickly overwhelming the table through sheer board presence. The deck also conceals a compact infinite landfall combo via Retreat to Coralhelm and Ruin Ghost, which can trigger lethal damage with Sabotender or draw the library with Nissa. Because the list relies heavily on combat damage and runs twelve taplands, it trades blistering speed for resilient top-end inevitability.
