This deck wins normally before turn 3 if not disrupted by others. Even if you get disrupted, chances are that you could probably still win on the next turn. It's composed of several combos so it's quite versatile to play with. Winning with Hermit Druid is most straight-ahead, however, things don't always go so well. Therefore, I've added other different combos to make this deck consistent.

There are 6 combos in this deck, however, they all lead to one final purpose, winning with Thassa's Oracle.

Deck Building

Like all competitive decks, this deck was built with the purpose of winning the game, and there are 6 combos in this deck included as a win condition. I didn't just randomly pick six combos that I like and put them into my deck, instead they're actually all interconnected and the inclusion of each of them has a good reason.

OK, with Thrasios, Triton Hero as the commander, there are 2 ways for me to win the game. The first one is to complete a combo that actually wins the game, and the other one is to complete an infinite mana combo and draw the deck with Thrasio's ability. The first thing that came to mind was Hermit Druid combo. It's definitely one of the most powerful combos in the format. It's super fast although sometimes could be dangerous if not played properly. I've figured out some ways to make this combo as consistent as possible by adding some crucial synergistic cards that can be cast from the graveyard after self-milling like Comply. And then I thought, now that I've included the cards that make self-milling with Hermit Druid a win condition, I might as well include the cephalid breakfast combo, which is also a way to mill my own library. And then, with the unleashing of Protean Hulk into the format, I immediately added Flash and that to the decklist because it just works so well with the cephalid breakfast combo. It's a two-card combo that basically wins after resolving Hulk's ability.

Another way to win the game is to generate infinite mana and just draw the deck with Thrasio's ability. Therefore, I've added the bomberman combo to the decklist.

Combos

Combo 1: Hermit Druid Show

1. Activate Hermit Druid's ability milling all you library.

2. Narcomoeba's ability triggers.

3. Pay to reanimate Fatestitcher.

4. Sacrifice 3 creatures to flashback Dread Return targeting Thassa's Oracle.

5. Thassa's Oracle's ability triggers and you win.

However, this combo is vulnerable to counterspells (Dread Return) and Stifle or Trickbind ( Thassa's Oracle). If you suspect one of the opponents is holding a disruption, another way to accomplish this combo in a more consistent way would be:

1. Activate Hermit Druid's ability milling all you library.

2. Narcomoeba's ability triggers.

3. Pay to reanimate Fatestitcher.

4. Sacrifice Hermit Druid to flashback Cabal Therapy.

5. Bridge from Below triggers and create a zombie token.

6. Name whichever card you want, usually a counterspell. And look at the hand of one of the opponents who is playing blue or you think might be holding a disruption in hand.

7. After knowing what the card in the opponent's hand is, tap Fatestitcher to untap a generating land. Cast Comply from your graveyard and name the card which you now know has been waiting for you.

8. Sacrifice 3 creatures to flashback Dread Return targeting Thassa's Oracle. Hopefully after playing Comply, this step wouldn't be disrupted.

9. Thassa's Oracle's ability triggers and you win.

Combo 2: Lion's Eye Diamond + Auriok Salvagers Show

1. They together generate infinite colored mana.

2. Cast Thrasios, Triton Hero and use his ability to draw your deck.

3. Cast Thassa's Oracle and you win the game.

Combo 3: Cephalid Illusionist + Shuko/Nomads en-Kor Show

1. Cephalid Illusionist + Shuko or Cephalid Illusionist + Nomads en-Kor can mill all your library.

2. Narcomoeba's ability triggers.

3. Sacrifice 3 creatures to flashback Dread Return targeting Thassa's Oracle.

4. Thassa's Oracle's ability triggers and you win.

This combo is also vulnerable to counterspells. For a variated version, please refer to Combo 1.

Combo 4: Thassa's Oracle + Tainted Pact/Demonic Consultation Show

Cast Thassa's Oracle and in response to its ETB, cast Tainted Pact/Demonic Consultation to exile your whole library. Thassa's ability resolves and you win.

Combo 5: Survival of the Fittest Show

Graveyard Line Show

If you have 2 creature cards in hand, fetch for Cephalid Illusionist + Nomads en-Kor.

Non-graveyard Line Show

If you have 2 creature cards in hand, fetch for Spellseeker and Thassa's Oracle. Cast Spellseeker to get Tainted Pact/Demonic Consultation. Cast Thassa's Oracle and in response to its ETB, cast Tainted Pact/Demonic Consultation to exile your whole library. Thassa's ability resolves and you win.

Combo 6: Flash + Protean Hulk in hand Show

Graveyard Line Show

This line is usually for situations where disruption cards like Stifle and Memory's Journey are anticipated.

1. Cast Flash and choose Protean Hulk in your hand.

2. Protean Hulk dies and its ability triggers. Fetch Cephalid Illusionist, Nomads en-Kor, and Grand Abolisher.

3. Combo 3

Non-graveyard Line Show

This line is usually for most of the situations, especially when you suspect your opponents may be holding a Faerie Macabre.

1. Cast Flash and choose Protean Hulk in your hand.

2. Protean Hulk dies and its ability triggers. Fetch Cephalid Illusionist, Nomads en-Kor, and Thassa's Oracle.

3. Thassa's Oracle's ability triggers and in response to that, mill you library with Cephalid Illusionist, Nomads en-Kor.

Combo 6.1: Necromancy + Entomb Show

It's a variant to combo 6. First cast entomb to bury Protean Hulk, and then cast Necromancy at instant speed to reanimate Protean Hulk. At the beginning of the nest clean up step, sacrifice Necromancy and Protean Hulk dies triggering it ability.

Explanation for Certain Cards

Memory's Journey Show

It's not only a key component to use when your combo got disrupted, but also a good interaction against reanimators and deck-top tutors.

Noxious Revival Show

It's not only a recovery card but also a good interaction against reanimators and deck-top tutors. It’s also a key component for alternate wincon.

Cabal Therapy Show

It's quite useful when Thassa's Oracle's ability gets Stifled. You can sacrifice Thassa's Oracle FOR FREE and then reanimate it again. It can also be a key component to complete a variated version of Combo 1 and 3.

It's an important piece of combo component when you have Dread Return in hand after milling you library. Sacrifice a creature to flashback Cabal Therapy targeting yourself naming Dread Return. It's the only self-discard piece after removing Phantasmagorian from the list.

It can also be used as a sac outlet for Protean Hulk.

Q&A

What can we do if Dread Return gets countered? Show

You can flashback Memory's Journey at the beginning of your next upkeep. Shuffle Reanimate, Sevinne's Reclamation, and Animate Dead back to you library. And you'll have three more chances to reanimate Thassa's Oracle.

If you have the mana, you can always choose to flashback Memory's Journey to shuffle anti-disruption cards back and simply flashback Sevinne's Reclamation to reanimate Thassa's Oracle and Grand Abolisher.

What can we do if Thassa's Oracle's triggered ability gets countered? Show

IF Cabal Therapy is still in your graveyard, you can flashback Memory's Journey at the beginning of your next upkeep. Shuffle Reanimate, Sevinne's Reclamation, and Animate Dead back to you library. Flashback Cabal Therapy by sacrificing Thassa's Oracle. You'll have three more chances to reanimate Thassa's Oracle and win the game. And if you have the mana, you can always choose to flashback Memory's Journey to shuffle anti-disruption cards back and simply flashback Sevinne's Reclamation to reanimate Thassa's Oracle and Grand Abolisher.

IF Cabal Therapy is no longer available, you can shuffle Chain of Vapor back to you library and return Thassa's Oracle back to you hand and recast it.

Should I mill my library if there is a Torpor Orb onboard? Show

Yes, but only if you'd have after milling.

1. Flashback Dread Return targeting Auriok Salvagers instead of Thassa's Oracle and generate infinite mana.

2. Cast Thrasios. Flashback Sevinne's Reclamation reanimating Grand Abolisher.

3. Flashback Memory's Journey targeting Abrupt Decay, and Thassa's Oracle.

4. Draw them with Thrasio's Ability.

5. Cast Abrupt Decay to destroy Torpor Orb.

6. Cast Thassa's Oracle and win.

Am I still able to win if my Thassa's Oracle got exiled? Show

There's an alternate wincon if Thassa's Oracle is no longer available.

Infinite Mana Line Show

After having infinite mana, use Thrasios, Triton Hero's ability to draw all the cards. Cast Grand Abolisher first and then use Assassin's Trophy to destroy one of your opponent's permanent. Cast Memory's Journey to shuffle Assassin's Trophy back to the library and draw it again with Thrasios, Triton Hero's ability. Use Assassin's Trophy to destroy another permanent again. Cast Noxious Revival to return Memory's Journey back to the top of the library and draw it with Thrasios, Triton Hero's ability. Cast Memory's Journey to shuffle both Assassin's Trophy and Noxious Revival back the library. From here starts the loop, repeat this process until all your opponent's permanents are destroyed.

And then, you need something to actually kill your opponents. Cast any instant, sorcery, or enchantment and counter it with Swan Song creating a bird. Shuffle the countered spell, Swan Song, and Noxious Revival back the library with Memory's Journey. Complete the loop like the previous one to create infinite birds to kill your opponents next turn.

Self Milling Line Show

First of all, you need . After milling, Dread Return Auriok Salvagers and generate infinite mana with Lion's Eye Diamond in the graveyard.

Cast Thrasios, Triton Hero. Flashback Sevinne's Reclamation and reanimate Grand Abolisher first. Flashback Memory's Journey targeting Timetwister and draw it with Thrasios, Triton Hero's ability. Cast Timetwister to shuffle all cards from the graveyard back to the library and draw them all with Thrasios, Triton Hero's ability. Cast Assassin's Trophy to destroy one of your opponent's permanent. Cast Noxious Revival to return Timetwister back to the top of the library and draw it with Thrasios, Triton Hero's ability and then cast it again. From here starts the loop, repeat this process until all your opponent's non-basic lands and non-land permanents are destroyed. Please note that since we're using Timetwister for looping, we're only going to be destroying permanents until they're out of basic lands.

And then, you need something to actually kill your opponents. Cast any instant, sorcery, or enchantment and counter it with Swan Song creating a bird. Shuffle the countered spell, Swan Song, and Noxious Revival back the library with Timetwister. Complete the loop like the previous one to create infinite birds to kill your opponents next turn.

Although we have Grand Abolisher onboard, we still are vulnerable to Faerie Macabre. You should always take that card into account since you're using Timetwister to complete the loop.
