Win with Baru using his second ability. As far as I am aware, I'm the first person to do this. Album of deck: http://imgur.com/a/bMhDU

The main combo involves Dual Nature ; Temur Sabertooth or Erratic Portal ; Paleoloth ; and Concordant Crossroads or Akroma's Memorial .

I have these in play, then cast Baru. He enters the battlefield and triggers the first ability of Dual Nature. In response, we bounce Baru, trigger Dual Nature's second ability. Once Baru is back in hand the second ability resolves, then the first, giving us a Baru Token. We discard Baru to get an X/X Wurm token and keep Baru in the graveyard. The Wurm token ETB will trigger Paleoloth, allowing us to return Baru to out hand. We repeat a good number of times, then swing to kill all our opponents.

The main plan of the deck is to pillowfort until we can get the combo, since we cannot reliably tutor for Dual Nature, or either Haste Enabler.

I have tutors, graveyard recursion, card draw, removal, and my key combo cards. The deck performs well, and unless targeted from the start will usually achieve 1st or 2nd in a group game.

Removed Obelisk of Undoing and Spidersilk Armor for Growing Rites of Itlimoc  Flip and Conqueror's Galleon  Flip. So far in testing, Itlimoc has shown to be promising, as it can hit important utility or value creatures, then flip to produce additional mana for me. Galleon I haven't actually hit when playing the deck so far, but the flip side seems to be ideal for the deck, with the card draw and recursion being useful on turns I have spare mana, or not a lot going on.

I removed Obelisk because, even with it being a backup combo piece and decent utility, it was still expensive to activate. Spidersilk Armor is removed as fliers aren't as prolific in my meta anymore, and I still have Silklash Spider, which has the benefits of being tutorable. If you're running this deck and fliers are a big problem, perhaps consider a different card to cut.
