This a controlling EDH deck that tries to stall the game until Chainer's recursion forces the opposition to their knees. The lategame usually involves several uses of Kokusho, the Evening Star or Gray Merchant of Asphodel to both regain life and kill everyone else.
For reasons of budget or power level, several notable cards are not included (Sol Ring, Necropotence, Demonic Tutor, Entomb, Yawgmoth's Will, Damnation and Karn Liberated, among others). So while i would very much appreciate helpful suggestions, i consciously decided to omit those cards here, and there is no point in discussing them.
