   the point of this deck is to leave your opponent with no usable mana while you have plenty.  First things first get out an eye of ramos, a sky
   diamond, and/or a worn powerstone.  Next get out rising waters, this will tap all your lands but you will have one of the above mana producing
   artifacts and at your upkeep you will untap one land so while you opponent  has only one mana you have anywhere from 1 to 5 mana
   (depending on how many artifacts you have out.)  next using your mana bring out a tradewindrider, zeppelin, or elemental, (don't bring out the
   man-o'-war untill they have a creature.)  now it is your opponents turn, if they have enough usable mana for a creature or a spell counter it with
   preferably daze or thwart because you will return mana to your hand which means more usable mana for you and they won't be able to stop
   daze because they will have tapped out.  now if they don't play anything play gush which will also return mana to your hand so you will have
   more to untapped mana to use considering that you put a land down each turn and you can untap one at your upkeep so there is two mana
   compared to your opponents one.  now back to your urn just beat them down with your zeppelin's and elementals and if they get a creature or
   two out just tap or return them using the riders and man-o'-war.
   (sidenote: when returning a permanent with the rider DON'T I REPEAT DON'T RETURN A LAND, THAT WILL LIKE YOUR STRATEGY GIVE
   THEM MORE USABLE MANA)
    
   all in all this deck is pretty good deck that can really screw with opponents especially those dependent on heavy mana.
