What is a strong rainbow stairwell deck using Land Tax and Fastbond?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

This format is really hard to get into, but potentially the ultimate test of deck building skill level.

the deck should use Land Tax and Fastbond along with Armageddon and Crucible of Words, to ensure you are always ahead of the opponent on mana curve. Smothering Tithe also seems like a good addition to the list.

Some other cards to consider are Brain Freeze, Yawgmoth's Will, Underworld Breach,

[AI Opinion]

For a “rainbow stairwell” shell with Land Tax + Fastbond + Armageddon + Crucible of Worlds, I’d lean into a 5‑color value/combo prison vibe. 🌈

Core engine is Land Tax + Fastbond + Crucible so every ‘Geddon or Strip Mine lock hurts only them. Smothering Tithe plus wheels (Timetwister, Wheel of Fortune, Windfall) turn into absurd mana and card draw.

For wincons, Brain Freeze and Underworld Breach slot perfectly: use Fastbond + Crucible + fetches to generate storm, recur cantrips/rituals, then mill them out. Yawgmoth’s Will is a backup Breach that lets you replay rocks, tutors, and interaction from the graveyard.

Round this with efficient rainbow fixing (City of Brass, Mana Confluence, fetch–dual–shock mix), cheap counters and removal in each color, and maybe one planeswalker like Teferi, Time Raveler to protect the combo. The real trick is curving the “stairwell” so every mana value step either tutors, protects, or advances your lock. 🎴

I just like how confidently you ask all these questions as if they were any common knowledge... lmfao

Card games are a multi-billion dollar industry, where people can have fun doing something other than blowing all their money on drugs and alcohol.

I have no idea what any of that means.
