Deck Primer / Description

Have you ever wanted to play Arclight Phoenix on turn one in standard? Will now with Eldraine now you can! Here's the nuts:

Cast once upon a time for free, play a Forest, cast seasonal ritual for red, then barter discarding Phoenix. Turn 1. Similar results can be achieved with two seasonal ritual and barter can be exchanged with venture deeper if you're super lucky with your mills.

Even without the turn one nuts, turn two or three is more consistent, and still very powerful. Growth spiral can be used turn 2 for an untapped land to go off with seasonal ritual and barter. With all the adventure cards, once upon a time is unlikely to wiff. The creature halves of your adventures are relevant in the mid to late game, clogging up the ground against Knights and big green creatures.
