Keranos, God of Storms
Disrupt opponents' fast starts by destroying early mana rocks, stealing or copying green ramp spells, and sweeping early go-wide boards before closing the game with massive late-game blue sea monsters and sphinxes.
Asked for“an off-meta deck with three themes: (1) destroy or steal mana rocks, especially in the first three turns. (2) punish ramp or steal ramp spells from the stack to ise for myself. (3) punish players who are playing a lot to the board early. not sure of colors. wincon might be classic late game blue creatures, but not sure what would work best”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
