Deck Notes
In most cases, loading up your deck with high-cost creatures would be a bad thing. However, when you can ramp mana to the degree that Witch-Maw decks can, it isn’t as much of a problem. This deck can power out lands faster than you can say, “In response,” and the bigger your cast, the better your effects. Atraxa remains the queen of the deck, leading an army of high-cost, high-reward creatures. Cost is no object.
