7. Blue/Green Ramp

Nazahl is an optimal finisher for control. It is evasive and it let's you go card for card with your opponent's answers. With no maximum handsize you can protect Nazahl with ease. 

Blue/Green Ramp Example Decklist

Ramp decks try to invest in their own mana so that they can play threats turns early. While neither a combo nor control deck, these builds often feel like the intersection between the two. They tend to play mana dorks and other small creatures for utility and defense. The ramp targets are generally six or more mana and are extremely potent. Land synergies are advantageous in these strategies, allowing you to gain incidental value on your increased mass of lands.

U/G ramp has strength in consistency. Blue and green offer you card draw and life-gain that brings you into the mid-game. Once there you can either wipe the board or start playing late-game creatures before your opponent could hope to catch up. This two-part gameplan of growing & going is a great way for players to practice more intricate strategies that require sequencing. Additionally, this is a strategy that often “lucks” into winning from positioning.
