Meren Stax Combo EDH Competitive

All comments and critiques welcome. List is pretty solid for the moment. There's probably a few cards I'd like to still include, like sadistic hypnotist, massacre wurm/natural affinity , and a few others.

The main combo:

1. Get protean hulk into play and then get him killed via any method ( sac outlet , kill spell, blocking )

Tutor this up if no combo pieces in graveyard :

A free sacrifice outlet into play 1cmc ( viscera seer , carrion feeder )

Phyrexian delver

Have the delver bring the protean hulk back into play. Sacrifice it again to get mikaeus the unhallowed and walking ballista into play.

The ballista won't die because of mikaeus's static power/toughness modifier for non-humans. Sacrifice the ballista to your sac outlet, it will come back into play with a +1/+1 counter on it. Use the ability to remove a counter and shoot another player for one damage. Now that the ballista has no counters on it, sacrifice it again. It will come back via mikaeus's ability with a counter again. Do this until you win!

Some other combos :

Corpse dance + 5 mana + fleshbag marauder/merciless executioner : force everyone to sac a creature, and get the marauder back in your graveyard and corpse dance back to your hand. Brutal if it's the only creature they have or their general.
