How it plays & wins
This is a fast, mana-rich toolbox deck. Moxen, Lotus Petal, Ancient Tomb, Lotus Field, and the spirit guides power out early plays, while a deep tutor suite (Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Mystical Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, Worldly Tutor, Gifts Ungiven, Intuition) finds the right pieces. Fierce Guardianship, Pact of Negation, Silence, and Grand Abolisher protect the turn, and Rhystic Study and Mystic Remora give value if the game slows down.
The cleanest win is Thassa's Oracle paired with Demonic Consultation or Tainted Pact. Empty the library, then resolve Oracle with nothing left to draw. The deck also has a reanimation plan: Entomb, Reanimate, Animate Dead, Necromancy, and Unburial Rites can return a big creature like Protean Hulk or Reveillark. I can't confirm a precise kill line from that package, so Oracle is the clear primary route.
