Again evolving this deck over time. I increased the amount of ramp because of how power hungry this deck is. I have also tried to eliminate unnecessary subthemes and increase synergy. Ghave lends himself well to being abused, and several combos equate infinite mana, tokens, or tokens that are infinitely large such as:

Ghave, Guru of Spores + Ashnod's Altar + Sigil Captain = infinite mana/tokens

Sigil Captain can be substituted for any doubler such as Doubling Season or Cathars' Crusade. As long as there is a sac outlet on the field and a doubler of some kind the result will be the same. Adding Skullclamp will net me drawing as many cards as I want.

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + a sac outlet + Puppeteer Clique can empty everyone's graveyards in my favor. Aura Shards also keeps the board fairly clean. I am considering re-adding Bitter Ordeal or Exsanguinate as an alternate wincon with infinite mana. Right now Cutthroat and Blood Artist serve this purpose. I noticed that this deck gets hosed very quickly by a single board wipe so I added things like Selfless Spirit Dauntless Escort and Heroic Intervention to skirt around them, with flash if need be with Vedalken Orrery's help. As good as they are Reyhan and Hydra also serve as removal bait to get people to burn spells on them while saving my more important pieces.

The main problem this deck faces right now is it is very slow. So far even with ramp that has proven a hard problem to solve. No matter how good my hand is or isn't I find it fairly common that it takes a very long time to set up combos because they take 3-4 cards or more.
