Overview

"Tradewind Survival is a URG Survival of the Fittest control deck built around Tradewind Rider tempo and value creatures. Birds of Paradise and Llanowar Elves accelerate into Survival of the Fittest, which fetches Wall of Roots, Spike Feeder, and Uktabi Orangutan, while Tradewind Rider bounces the opponent's permanents and Genesis plus Squee, Goblin Nabob grind out inevitable card advantage."

Game Plan

Establish Survival of the Fittest and Tradewind Rider, repeatedly bounce the opponent's lands and threats to lock them out, then grind to victory with Genesis recursion and Deranged Hermit tokens.
