Like many of my builds, this one showcases the power of a particular card. Here, that card is Leyline of Abundance.
The goal is a turn-2 planeswalker or mana disruption, followed by more of the same every single turn. You either overwhelm them with multiple early planeswalkers, lock them out of mana, or slow them down enough for your planeswalkers to take over.
Most of the planeswalkers can disrupt mana. Ajani can lock down a land each turn and Armageddon. Wrenn and Six can Ghost Quarter every turn and eventually cast a bunch of Stone Rains. Nahiri can exile mana artifacts and summon Emrakul to crush all of their lands, plus she digs for other mana disruption. Karn can grab Liquimetal Coating to lock down a land and then destroy one each turn, or Mycosynth Lattice to remove their ability to play spells altogether.
Post-board, Ghostly Prisons combined with all of this mana disruption can prevent the opponent's creatures from attacking at all.
Besides being excellent chumps to protect your planeswalkers, your mana creatures can also grow huge with Leyline of Abundance. Once you have 4 land and 2 mana creatures, you can play Leyline and another card in the same turn, or just start pumping your creatures. Leyline isn't really a dead card later on as it gives you something to use your mana for once your planeswalkers are deployed and gives you another path to victory.
