Deck overview

This is a four-color group-hug lands deck helmed by Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis. The primary game plan is to ramp explosively through a dozen extra-land-drop effects, draw cards through symmetric engines, and close the game with Maze's End (ten Gates) or a double-cast Approach of the Second Sun. The deck leans heavily on its Gate package - 18 Gate-typed lands plus Sage of the Maze, Baldur's Gate, and Basilisk Gate - and backs it with soft stax locks (Knowledge Pool + Drannith Magistrate/Lavinia, Azorius Renegade, Possibility Storm + Drannith Magistrate) to slow opponents. Secondary wins come from Field of the Dead zombie tokens and land-creature beats via Druid Class. It is a slow, value-dense deck that gives opponents resources while trying to out-ramp them.
