Strategy
Glarb lets you play lands and expensive spells straight off the top of your library, which makes the top card the most valuable real estate in the deck. The build is therefore about two things at once: seeing the top card and being allowed to use it. Extra land drops turn every revealed land into a free play, and surveil keeps the top stocked with something worth casting.
Early: The opening is pure mana development. Exploration, Azusa, Lost but Seeking and Dryad of the Ilysian Grove allow extra land drops, while Birds of Paradise, Bloom Tender and Elves of Deep Shadow cover a three-colour base. Lotus Cobra turns each of those extra drops into real mana.
Mid: Once Glarb is out, Oracle of Mul Daya is the card the deck is built around - the top is visible, and every land there is a free play. The Gitrog Monster and Ramunap Excavator keep lands flowing out of the graveyard, and Tatyova, Benthic Druid turns the whole engine into cards.
Late: Muldrotha, the Gravetide makes the graveyard a second hand, replaying a land and a permanent every turn on top of everything Glarb already allows. Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait and Avenger of Zendikar turn the land count into either cards or an army.
Win conditions: Usually attrition: the deck simply plays two or three more cards a turn than anyone else and buries the table in permanents. Avenger of Zendikar with the land count high is the fastest finish, and Thassa's Oracle is here as a clean alternative when the library runs low. Toxic Deluge and Culling Ritual reset a board that got ahead.
- Oracle of Mul Daya - Sees the top and plays lands off it
- Azusa, Lost but Seeking - Two extra land drops every turn
- Muldrotha, the Gravetide - Replays permanents from the graveyard each turn
- Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait - Draws off every extra land drop
