Big Mana Strategy Guide

Big Mana decks are for players who want the game to build toward casting one spell that changes every resource count at once. This strategy wants to accelerate beyond normal mana development, using land ramp, mana rocks, doublers, and big mana commanders, to win through X spells, huge spells EDH tables have to answer, or haymakers like Torment of Hailfire and Expropriate. In the Ramp, Landfall, and Big Mana overlap, Ramp is acceleration, Landfall turns land drops into triggers, and Big Mana is the payoff plan for spending all that mana. Unlike Storm, it usually casts fewer spells in a turn and asks each one to matter on resolution.
