Deck overview

Yuma, Proud Protector leads a Naya lands-matters deck built around milling, sacrificing, and replaying Deserts. The primary plan is to put land cards in the graveyard to discount Yuma, then use his triggered draw and 4/2 Plant Warrior tokens alongside landfall payoff creatures to build a wide board. Dune Chanter is the pivotal enabler because it makes every land a Desert both on the battlefield and in graveyards, supercharging Yuma, Hazezon, and Desert recursion. Secondary paths use Avenger of Zendikar, Omnath, and Scute Swarm for explosive landfall tokens, with Titania and Vengeful Regrowth turning sacrificed lands into more bodies. The deck is resilient but slow, has no compact combo, and closes through combat with token overruns.
