Strategy

"Assault Loam" is a powerful and versatile deck in Modern that combines elements of land recursion, hand disruption, and burn to control the game and overwhelm opponents. The deck revolves around the synergy between Seismic Assault and Life from the Loam to continuously discard lands from your hand to deal damage to your opponent or their creatures. The main strategy of the deck is to establish a lock on the game by recurring powerful lands like Wrenn and Six and Boseiju, Who Endures, while disrupting your opponent's game plan with cards like Blood Moon and Chalice of the Void. Additionally, cards like Endurance and Force of Vigor provide graveyard hate and artifact/enchantment removal, making the deck resilient against various strategies. Good points of the deck include its ability to grind out value over time, the flexibility to adapt to different matchups, and the explosive potential to close out games quickly with a burst of damage from Seismic Assault. The deck also has access to strong creatures like Tarmogoyf, Bloodbraid Elf, and Omnath, Locus of Creation to apply pressure and close out the game. However, the deck can be vulnerable to fast aggro strategies that can outpace its setup or disruptive decks that can disrupt its key pieces. It also requires careful resource management and timing to maximize its potential, as misplays or suboptimal sequencing can hinder the deck's performance. Overall, Assault Loam is a challenging and rewarding deck to pilot, offering a unique gameplay experience in the Modern format."
