The average Yisan list, nothing too fancy. I took the basic inspiration from Wanderer's Song, with a few choices of my own subbed in. ShaperSavant, you definitely set the Gold Standard for this deck!

Make sure that you have a means of casting Yisan, the Wanderer Bard on Turn 2 (if not Turn 1), then work your way up the mana curve, grabbing "silver bullets" as needed for each situation. Finish off with Craterhoof Behemoth.

Another way you can make everything die is to go infinite with Staff of Domination and Priest of Titania/Karametra's Acolyte (although making Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx a creature with Kamahl, Fist of Krosa is a valid yet roundabout way of doing it). With at least five devotion/Elves on the battlefield, you can create infinite mana, thereby drawing infinite cards/gaining infinite life, then playing your entire deck in one turn. Though I recommend casting Concordant Crossroads before dropping Craterhoof Behemoth, because overkill.

Stax cards won't hurt you, since most of your mana will come from mana dorks or cheapo artifacts. You'll also be getting most of your creatures via your General.

Suggestions and input are appreciated. Thanks for taking a look.
