Strategy
Shalai, Voice of Plenty leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, putting +1/+1 counters on things and growing them out of range. The list holds 13 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 3.21.
Early: Use the early turns on mana. Giada, Font of Hope and the rest of the 13 ramp pieces are what let the deck cast Shalai, Voice of Plenty on curve and keep casting after it.
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. Swords to Plowshares is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Sunblast Angel 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 3.21 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.
Win conditions: Wins by growing a threat past what the table can answer and connecting with it.
