Strategy
Beledros Witherbloom leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, sacrificing its own creatures for value and draining the table. The list holds 14 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 2.87.
Early: The early turns belong to ramp. Cultivate and the other 14 ramp pieces exist to get Beledros Witherbloom out well before its printed cost of 7 would allow.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Pest Infestation is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Ayara, First of Locthwain keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Culling Ritual for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 2 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 2.87 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.
Win conditions: Wins by draining life a few points at a time while the board keeps recurring.
