This is my first attempt at building a deck. After getting a bunch of ideas online for how to make a deck with Kruphix I'm trying to put one together. This is my first deck, so I have a woeful lack of knowledge about all the possible cards out there.

I'm mostly trying to make a deck focused on ramping into big creatures. In order to get to the point where I can drop those big creatures I need to stay alive. I plan on having a lot of removal, and counters to keep anything dangerous off the board.

Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
