Well, as you can see, this deck probably looks like a bunch of cards thrown together and hope they work. Now, thats what people said about the ProsBloom deck of old. Actually, the two decks, ProsBloom, and TransBloom, play alot alike. You spend the first few turns ignoring what your opponent does, and gathering land. Then, play the Transendece/Foresaken Wastes combo. Now you can't die untill they get rid of the enchantments. Play 2 Sterling Grooves, and your good to go. Next, play the Nefarious Lich. Now, tap a land for mana. Take one mana burn. Put the foresaken wastes ability on the stack. Then, put the transendence on the stack. Transendence resolves first, and, instead of taking one damage, you gain 2 life. Now, in response to the foresaken wastes ability to make players not gain life, put the Lich's ability on the stack to draw two cards instead of gianing two life. That resolves, you gain 2 cards, and Foresaken wastes fizzles. Wash, rinse, repeat. After you get about 10 cards in hand, use Cadaverous Bloom's ability to get 20 mana. Then, cast a Disintagrate on the poor soul sitting across from you. He won't know what hit him.


Now, the mana base is a little shaky, I know, and if you have the resources, or the cards, dual lands are not a bad choice. I would replace 4 swamps with 4 Bayou, because they still count as swamps, and would replace the 2 mountains with Badlands. Then, I would replace the Elfhame Sanctuaries with Savannas, and the lone plains with a Scrubland, and maybe even three of the swamps. That should round out the mana base, but damn thats expensive.
