Strategy
Hazezon, Shaper of Sand is your token-generating powerhouse that rewards you for playing Deserts. The core gameplan is simple: play Deserts, generate Sand Warrior tokens, and grow your board into an unstoppable swarm. Since Hazezon lets you play Deserts from your graveyard, you're essentially getting multiple triggers per turn cycle—each Desert ETB creates two tokens, so a modest land drop becomes explosive token production. Your graveyard becomes a second hand, turning self-mill and discard outlets into pseudo-ramp.
You'll win primarily through token swarm damage, especially once you start recurring Deserts multiple times per turn. The desertwalk ability is a nice bonus that makes Hazezon evasive against anyone holding Deserts. Include landfall payoffs like Omnath or Scute Swarm to multiply your token generation even further. Consider sacrifice outlets and anthem effects to turn your army into a lethal threat, or lean into recursion to keep Deserts flowing from your graveyard turn after turn.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive dual lands like Plateau—use basic Deserts and budget multicolor fixers like Fellwar Stone. Replace pricey landfall staples like Omnath, Locale of Rage with Scute Swarm or Tireless Provisioner.
