best land = 1x Phyrexian Tower

Once Protean Hulk is on the battlefield sac it and fetch: > >- Body Snatcher >- Viscera Seer >- Sylvan Safekeeper > >Respond to Body Snatcher's ETB trigger by sac'ing it to Viscera Seer. When it dies, reanimate Protean Hulk and then sac it again to fetch: > >- Mikaeus, the Unhallowed >- Walking Ballista > >Sac Walking Ballista to Viscera Seer so it comes back with a +1/+1 counter from Mikaeus. >Remove the counter to deal 1 damage to an opponent and then sac Walking Ballista to Viscera Seer and undying will trigger bringing back the ballista with a counter once again. Repeat indefinitely to kill all opponents. > >Walking ballista will have +1/+1 from Mikaeus' static ability so this combo REQUIRES a sac outlet. > >Sylvan Safekeeper is a failsafe to prevent anyone from disrupting the combo.

There are several three-card infinite combos in the deck. These combos have:

1. A repeatable sac outlet. Altar of Dementia, Ashnod's Altar, Sadistic Hypnotist, Viscera Seer >2. A persist creature. Puppeteer Clique, Woodfall Primus >3. A way to remove the -1/-1 counter from the persist creature. Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed None of these combos are instant win. Depending on which cards I use to assemble the combo this is what results I get: Part 1.
2. Altar of Dementia; infinite mill (no longer included) >- Ashnod's Altar; >- Sadistic Hypnotist; all opponents discard their hands >- Viscera Seer; scry through my deck to get any card on top of my library. Part 2.
3. Puppeteer Clique; reanimate all opponents creatures under my control >- Woodfall Primus; destroy all noncreature permanents (you can target your own but that's a bad idea, just stop when you kill your opponents stuff and if you're nicer than me you might leave their lands alone) Part 3.
4. Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest; pump Mazirek and all other non-persist creatures up big time. Add Smothering Abomination to draw your whole deck.
