Strategy
Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, pointing repeated damage at players. The list holds 12 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 3.52.
Early: The early turns belong to ramp. Trove of Temptation and the other 12 ramp pieces exist to get Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs out well before its printed cost of 5 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. Warstorm Surge is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Emberwilde Captain keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Blasphemous Act 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 3.52 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.
Win conditions: Wins by pointing damage at players until they run out of life.
