I LIKE FREE STUFF

Meant for competitive multiplayer! The deck plays like Food Chain Prossh but with blue. haHAA I have a type.

How to find a combo

Recruiter of the Guard searches for just about everything useful here. The best line of play almost always is to find a Selkie Hedge-Mage or Arctic Merfolk to reset her and find a Cavern Harpy, which can reset the bounce creature, reset the Recruiter, and find Cauldron Familiar. Very easy if you have Aluren already, but if you don't it only takes 1-2 turns. It's usually right to find her off of a creature tutor.

End-of-turn Ad Nauseam should be able to put most of your deck into your hand, given the low-CMC curve.

She can also tutor up the infinite mana combo in Devoted Druid + Vizier of Remedies, but this is only a backup if you're pressed for resources but know you'll keep Druid safe from a removal spell.

Combos

Aluren + Cloudstone Curio + any Alurenable creature is infinite ETB effects of all your creatures. Plus, the classic:

Aluren + Cavern Harpy + Cauldron Familiar is an uninterruptable infinite life loss kill. You can swap Cauldron Familiar for Kalastria Healer to the same effect.

Devoted Druid + Vizier of Remedies is infinite green mana, which you can add a single U to cast Thrasios, Triton Hero, draw your deck with his ability, and then dump an infinite infinite Walking Ballista. It'll also end up finding you Aluren and all the pieces, so you should be able to go off no matter what hate.

Cloud of Faeries + Aluren + a bounce effect (Curio or Cavern Harpy) is also infinite mana.

There's lots of other little goodies in there.

It's a little budgety because I have too many commander decks. You could quickly make this better with more fast mana (Mana Crypt and Mana Vault), expensive tutors (Imperial Seal, etc), and duals. But I also like having diverse games, even if they all end the same way. ;)

Updates Add

Just remembered this build and went through to make it more optimized with new (or newly-inexpensive) cards! In goes Grim Tutor, Flusterstorm, Assassin's Trophy, Spellseeker, Veil of Summer, the Bond lands (primarily replacing fastlands), and Cauldron Familiar, which is the new Parasitic Strix! Also put in Tainted Pact, since I have one.

Out:
Regrowth
Counterspell
Trophy Mage
Putrefy
Parasitic Strix
Man-o'-War
Dimir Signet (Swapped in Talisman of Dominance)
Shardless Agent (pet card, but I do run counterspells) Most fast lands
