I Love to Hate You

Have you ever thought your friends are having TOO much fun? Want to grind games to a halt and make everyone play on your terms? Do you like drawing cards and poking people to death with 2/2's? Then do I have a deck for you!

The idea is to play small 2 power or evasive creatures with denial effects and small taxing effects to impede your opponents while your commander Sidar lets your little guys get in for damage and draw cards thanks to Tymna. The deck can win in a multitude of ways via lock out, combo, or just by beating face.

Please ignore the lands, I was too lazy to input the full land list but I have a robust Abzan land base with fetches, shocks, hate lands like Scavenger Grounds, Bojuka Bog, Blast Zone, etc. This is meant to be a cEDH deck or close to. I'm not normally a combo player and I've loved hate cards since I've seen them so this is my compromise for a cEDH deck.

Current deck objectives:

1. Cut down to 100 cards. I am terrible at this becuase there is just so much glorious hate to put in! I have a stack of ~100 cards on my maybe list that didn't quite make the first cut but I may try to swap them in if there is ever extra room....

2. Find an additional sacrifice outlet (preferably on a creature) for combo win.

3. Maybe add a voltron strategy with Hatred and like cards so I would like some thoughts on that.

I have access to Vampiric Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, and Worldly Tutor, but they are currently in other decks at the moment. In the event I do choose to pull those cards out and put them in here I would like suggestions to remove for them.

Combos and Locks

Nature's Revolt + Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite = One sided Armageddon

Armageddon + Heroic Intervention / Teferi's Protection = One sided Armageddon

Nature's Revolt + Linvala, Keeper of Silence = Opponents can’t tap lands or mana dorks for mana

Armageddon + Druids' Repository / Smothering Tithe / Land Tax / Mana dorks = Fast recovery from Armageddon

Tymna + Words of Waste = Repeatable mass discard

Combine the below combos with Cruel Celebrant or Zulaport Cutthroat for infinite damage.

Leonin Relic-Warder + Animate Dead = Infinite ETB/LTB triggers.

Karmic Guide + Reveillark + Viscera Seer = Infinite recursion, scry, ETB/LTB triggers.

Sun Titan + Animate Dead + Karmic Guide + Viscera Seer = Ditto.

Karmic Guide / Reveillark / Sun Titan + Saffi Eriksdotter + Viscera Seer = Ditto.

A special note about Nature's Revolt

This is one of the most versatile cards in the deck. It can be played as a Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) effect that can keep board wipes at bay. It can create an all out brawl as all of a sudden everyone has 2/2s and thanks to Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa's effect my opponents will have a hard time blocking creatures ANY player controls with power 2 or less which is often an overlooked part of Sidar's ability. This card in combination with Mirror Entity or Jazal Goldmane can lead to an absurd amount of damage as they can pump the P/T of all your creatures after blocks have been declared letting Sidar give your board evasion. On top of all that it has synergies with the above listed cards to create a soft mana lock or one sided Armageddon. It would be replaced with Living Plane but I don't feel like shelling out $200 for a single card.
