The combo:
Lands:
3 Lakes, 3 Mountains, 2 Deserts
Ulani's Medallion from Fugoro
Doomgate
Architect x3
Aurora's Creation to get the 4th Architect (or multiple creations with fewer architects)
Doomgate toughness = 3
4x Architect = +8
Doomgate eats an architect = 13
Ostregoth is summoned
Play Ulani's Medallion to turn everything into Ostregoth copies
Hit face with two ostregoths

Stall earlygame while you draw, cycle, and build up Faeria.
Dream Keeper reduces your hand and cycles you through to pieces you need.
At full cost the combo is:
Doomgate 1f
Architect x3 6f
Creation 5f
Architect #4 0f
Medallion 6f
22 Faeria.
However, the turn you go off it *rarely* costs that much. Generally you have discounted multiple pieces with Dream Keepers. You usually need around 10-15, which is perfectly reasonable with experiment/stormspawn and windfall.
- You don't want to dump onto the board in the early turns, or waste your experiment/stormspawn or windfalls - you *really* want the discount on those.
First several turns are building out lands and using storyteller or lore theif to build up a 6+ card hand. Then play dream keeper 2 or 3 times to get massive discounts and cycle into Fugoro and Doomgate.
- King's Guard helps cycle and provides some counterplay
- Flower stalls a few turns or can remove a pesky creature standing on your mountain or next to their face during the kill turn.
- You can use Failed experiment to go off with 2 (or even 1) mountain
There are a TON of lines with this deck. It's like playing a puzzle. Your best resource is time. If your opponent thinks they are out-collecting you, let them. Don't make it look like you are a threat.
It's not like... good. But it's an absolutely hilarious deck to puzzle through.
Because of Medallion, this thing actually wins something like 20% of its games. Not great, but hey, its a puzzle. Enjoy it.
