Living the dream is a turn-3 4/4 lifelink, vigilance, trample, flying, first strike, hexproof, indestructible demon. Sometimes it's a turn-9 vanilla 4/4. But sometimes it works. It's not unusual to have a Soulflayer in hand, a few relevant keywords in the graveyard, and full control over when to cast it. (A timing I've found pretty hard to nail sometimes.)

Sidisi seemed an obvious pick. In the early game, chump (and when you're lucky, trade) your Wayfinders and morphs. They're better off in your graveyard anyway, and you'll need life to get to the late game.

Late game can go bonkers if you survive. Chromantiflayer is often possible, as are total bombs like gods, Torrent Elemental, and Ancestral Recall.

Be prudent with your Caryatids. Five colors is a lot, and a dead Chromanticore in your hand is miserable.
