General
All that glisters is not gold—
Often have you heard that told.
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold.
Gilded tombs do worms enfold.
Had you been as wise as bold,
Young in limbs, in judgment old,
Your answer had not been inscrolled
Fare you well. Your suit is cold—
Cold, indeed, and labor lost.
—William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act II, Scene VII
Ramos.
Like the dragons he was built by Phyrexia to mimic, he loves gold. Well, gold spells. Okay, any multicolored spell. This deck is designed to maximize Ramos's potential by casting only multicolored spells. Each card in the deck is at least two counters on Ramos. Various cascade spells as well as Rashmi let you cast even more spells for free, adding even more counters to Ramos. With Vorel and Corpsejack Menace to put even more counters on Ramos, he's going to be huge.
The various charms all have modes that either enhance Ramos or clear blockers so he can swing in for the kill. The Fate Reforged Dragons serve two purposes--their abilities make Ramos even more formidable an attacker, and casting them boosts Ramos for two counters. (Casting Kolaghan for the Dash cost lets you get multiple boosts!)
If you can't get Ramos in for the kill directly, you can cash in those counters for a ton of mana to fuel Villainos Wealth, Door to Nothingness, Aurelia's Fury, or Lavalanche.
Ramos smiled, and there was day.
Ramos wept, and there were seas.
Ramos fell, and there was night.
Ramos bled, and there was fire.
Ramos touched, and there was life.
—The Bones of Ramos
