Description of deck by it's author (quoted):
The deck mainly revolves around the Tangleroot/Equilibrium combo, along with any of the numerous come into play ability creatures it stocks. The essence of the combo is to play a creature, then stack the Equilibrium’s effect under the Tangleroot’s. After you get the mana from the Tangleroot, you can then use it to pay for the Equilibrium, bouncing another creature you control, or one that your opponent does. With this combo, any come into play creatures that you play essentially become sorceries with a buyback cost of 0.

While this may not seem particularly more lethal with the Tangleroot than without, let me assure you that it is. Drawing three cards off of a Wall of Blossoms/Cloud of Faeries would require an outstanding twelve mana! With a Tangleroot in play, the same play only requires a much more manageable six mana. As you play this deck, you will quickly notice that while it runs without the Tangleroot, it is the same as putting lighter fluid in your car. The mana engine that the Tangleroot creates allows the deck to rev up to full speed, and therefore be not only a lot of fun to play, but very competitive. Once it gets going, this combo can quickly lead to a deadly scenario for your opponent, allowing you to gain massive advantages in tempo, cards, and position.
