I tip my straw hat to you, likely Vorthos builders
Brian Weissman developed a deck known simply as "The Deck," which generally is considered the first coherent control deck of all time
Deaths Shadow is a 13/13 creature, one of the largest in the game and certainly the largest one-mana creature, but it loses power and toughness equal to your life total
Two Ritual Monsters that can work in any Earth deck include Amorphactor Pain, the Imagination Dracoverlord, and Odd-Eyes Gravity Dragon, which returns all of your opponents Spells and Traps to their hand when summoned
This Trap lets you target a Blue-Eyes Monster and make it both unaffected by card effects and protected from destruction by battle during that turn
You could simply run 2 Tour Guides, but that lowers the amount of uses to 1, when running 2 Cranes allows you to use it twice
