Vela the Night-Clad goes crazy and does strange things.

Some combos are apparent. The deck is meant to be able to win with these and fall back to aggro as a backup. My tendency to not play tutors and very expensive nonsense makes combos pretty wonky.

These are are all victory if Vela the Night-Clad is in play. Phyrexian Altar is insane.
- Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker + Phyrexian Altar + Myr Battlesphere => infinite ETBs/LTBs + Mana
- Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker + Phyrexian Altar + Sengir Autocrat => infinite ETBs/LTBs
- - can use Mnemonic Wall/Archaeomancer or Displace/Ghostly Flicker in those two.
- Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker + Gilded Lotus => infinite ETBs/LTBs
- Ghostly Flicker + Gilded Lotus + Mnemonic Wall => infinite ETBs/LTBs
- Deadeye Navigator + Grave Titan + Phyrexian Altar => infinite ETBs/LTBs
- Deadeye Navigator + Myr Battlesphere + Phyrexian Altar => infinite ETBs/LTBs + Mana
- Deadeye Navigator + Phyrexian Altar + Sengir Autocrat => infinite ETBs/LTBs + Mana

Not looking for a milling strategy here; that generates entirely too much heat in the local meta. People don't like seeing possibilities go down the drain. This deck risks generating heat from the whole table at once as it is.

Also please don't suggest any two-card infinite mana combos. There's some potential for infinite mana here but I have to work a lot harder (generally at least three or four cards), so I think I can make the argument it'll be more "fair".
