How to Play this Deck

When playing this deck, the main thing you want to do is make your graveyard as big as possible and abuse EtB and LtB effects while waiting to get one of this deck's combos together.

Generally speaking, you will almost never win through Commander damage, although it has happened a couple times for me. The way I usually win is through stalling out opponents, as this deck isn't very aggressive.
