Marath, Will of the Wild

How it plays & wins

Marath is a creature-based toolbox deck built around fast mana and tutors. Moxen, Sol Ring, Mana Vault, Lotus Petal, the spirit guides and mana dorks like Birds of Paradise and Llanowar Elves accelerate into Gaea's Cradle or Marath. Green Sun's Zenith, Chord of Calling, Natural Order, Birthing Pod and Eldritch Evolution then find the right creature. Protection and interaction come from Silence, Veil of Summer, Grand Abolisher, Cavern of Souls, Swords to Plowshares, Pyroblast and Red Elemental Blast.

No explicit infinite combo is evident, and I won't invent one. The most likely path is a fast, resilient board, with Marath scaled by mana from Cradle and Finale of Devastation, and Hardened Scales and Unbound Flourishing adding counters or copies. The tutors let the pilot adapt, so the deck probably wins through tempo, protected threats and flexible creature value rather than one fixed line.
