The other day, while cleaning up my deck files, I came upon this list called Eternal Garden in my Legacy folder. I didn't remember what it was so I opened it and looked at it. The list interested me quit a bit and I decided I would give it a try. After a few matches, I saw the potential of the deck and decided to test some more. I have been undefeated with this deck as of now. Without further adieu, here is the list:

Lands
2 Wasteland
3 Volcanic Island
3 Tropical Island
2 Savannah
3 Windswept Heath
4 Ancient Tomb
2 Nantuko Monastery
1 Glacial Chasm
1 Tranquil Thicket
1 Barbarian Ring
1 Cephalid Coliseum
1 Nomad Stadium
1 Riftstone Portal
1 Academy Ruins
1 Maze of Ith

Spells
3 Pyroclasm
4 Mox Diamond
2 Constant Mists
1 Engineered Explosives
2 Smokestack
3 Crucible of Worlds
4 Thirst for Knowledge
3 Intuition
2 Crop Rotation
1 Life from the Loam
4 Exploration
4 Swords to Plowshares

Sideboard
1 Pyroclasm
4 Chalice of the Void
4 Trinisphere
1 Ancient Grudge
1 Tormod's Crypt
2 Pithing Needle
2 Rule of Law

At a glance, the deck looks like a pile, but the power is hidden within. There are many ways to create locks with Crucible of Worlds and Exploration. The win conditions aren't obvious, here are a few:
1) Nantuko Monateries
2) Barbarian Ring
3) Cephalid Coliseum

I don't take any credit for this build, as I don't remember building it, perhaps a friend did for me. Opinions or suggestions welcome Very Happy

Looks like 43 land, without 43 land.

No but in all seriousness it looks like its trying to do too many things, I would reccomend either taking this in the stax direction or 43 land but not both
