---

So this deck has a lot of similarities to food chain tazri or niv. The reason I think this commander is a better food chain outlet than either tazri or niv is simply because you can avoid running allies or 2 colour combo pieces that are dead outside of the combo.

The first Sliver cascades which means you can more or less play out your entire deck once you have infinite food chain mana online. So this deck can just continuously cast and recast OG Sliver until you come across jace or laboratory maniac. Once you have either Jace or labman on the field you just need to find a demonic consultation or tainted pact to exile your library and draw a card for the win. A couple things to note though if you don't have access to jace for whatever reason you will need some way of drawing a card out of your empty library with lab maniac so before you would cast a consultation or tainted pact you can cascade into a sensei's top or spellseeker which could grab you a cantrip that can be cast with any of the ramp you cheat out or just git probe works. Lastly because you may cast cards off your cascade trigger you don't have to worry about running into consultation/pact before you reach your labman/jace, you can simply refuse consent to cast it and continue comboing.

The one thing I really like about this food chain list I constructed that I think should be noted you could manually assemble your win conditions and it isn't even a bad plan b. In some cases it might actually be more convenient if you are facing a stax deck because the consultation/tainted pact lines can play through most stax pieces with quite a bit of ease, I would say it would be a better plan than food chain under those circumstances. If you were facing a rule of law for example you might find it more appealing to win via jace and consultation over food chain.
