In a pinch, remember that Field of the Dead does trigger with every other land when you warp world into it, so you may just end up with a huge army of zombies while leaving your opponents with a crummier board state. \n\nIn the worst case, the deck can start hard-casting dragons and beating down the old fashioned way, but I don't think that's ever needed to happen. This deck usually \"goes off\" around turns 5-6, and is an absolute blast.\n\n\n"}]}

Accumulate value until the opportunity to win presents itself. To be completely honest, it is possible that many combos get in the way of each other.
