Means to an End + Vara + Vara + Slumbering Stone + Infernal Tyrant is basically an infinite combo. So this does that, but also can just be a grindy-ish big midrange deck. Thoroughly untested, but also thoroughly exciting.
The ShiftstonedEternal Power Calculator is a deck-building tool that visualizes your odds of drawing enough Influence and Power based specifically on the cards found in your deck.
This deck has some really explosive combos, and decent units in the midgame. Most of the cards are actually from set 1, so I'm kind of surprised to have not really seen anything like it (Though Means to an End makes the combo more consistent)
I was having a really hard time getting anywhere close to the combo. Especially with all of the skycragro running around. I ended up cutting the fire, and instead running primal. I'm currently running a couple Eilyn's Favor, Herald's Song, Lightning Storm, a whispering Wind, and am experimenting with Torgov and Piercing Grief. Piercing has actually been great (despite adding cards back to the deck.) Torgov hasn't been helpful enough other than giving a large body to the board. It definitely needs tuning.
There's some real power here. I tried a version without Means (which I guess kinda misses the point of what you were going for...), and the core feels super solid. For your perusal: The (Slumbering) Stone Nuts
