Strategy
Strider, Ranger of the North turns your land drops into a growth engine for your creatures. Every time a land enters the battlefield, you pump a target creature and potentially give it first strike if it's already threatening. This lets you build an aggressive board while ramping normally—your land plays do double duty as both mana acceleration and combat tricks.
The deck wants to play lots of lands (especially fetches and extra-land-drop effects) to trigger Strider repeatedly each turn. You'll use this to pump your own creatures into lethal range or give your threats first strike to win combat trades. The best part is that Strider itself is a decent 4/4 blocker, so he's never a wasted slot even when landfall doesn't fire.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip pricey fetches—use basics and affordable dual lands like Cultivate or Kodama's Reach for ramp, then pivot to budget token makers like Goblin Chaser or Saproling synergies.
