I have a couple wins under my belt with this deck. Just wanted to show it off. It started off as a gift of a friend and a replica of The Commander's Quarters Phelddagrif deck that was slowly upgraded throughout the new sets. We have an infinite now. I was able to pull it off once. The only way you'll be fishing it out is through sheer card draw and luck.

You'll need:

Phelddagrif

Intruder Alarm

Llanowar Elves

Suture Priest

With all of these on the board, Tap the Llanowar Elves for green, give hippo to 'friend' through Phelddagrif, burn them for one through Suture Priest. Since a Hippo has entered the battlefield, Intruder Alarm triggers and your elves are ready to give more mana. Burn them while gifting them hippos. The combo is a bit esoteric so they might not seeing coming and they may not be able to stop it. It's all at instant speed too so if they do decide to boardwipe, you can respond by gifting hippos.
