The Great Aurora

- STARRING NATH OF THE GILT-LEAF -

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

DECK ORIGINS

I was a HUGE fan of Worldfire before it was banned and The Great Aurora (TGA) is a similar card in some respects. While I do love building theme decks and do intend to include TGA in my forthcoming Nissa, Vastwood Seer deck, this deck's sole purpose is to maximize The Great Aurora without flavor restrictions.

DECK CREATION

My first thoughts when I saw The Great Aurora were how to cast it and win that turn. My mind immediately jumped to ways to increase my number of permanents and hand size, while reducing my opponents' numbers of the same. Nath of the Gilt-Leaf accomplishes half of my goals and the Golgari

colors provide plenty of ways

DECK ARCHETYPE

This is a combo deck with several discard effects.

DECK THEMES

discard effects
lots of mana acceleration (lands, rocks, and doublers)
