My first deck. Nothing special but really fun imho. Builded for casual non competitive play with friends.

Combo

• Coretapper + Magistrate's Scepter + Meren of Clan Nel Toth : is the key combo which results in infinite turns. Coretapper taps to add 1 counter to the scepter and then sacrifice himself to add 2 more counters so we can tap the scepter and add another turn. At the beginning of the end step Meren call back Coretapper from GY and repeat. The only thing to pay attention is that Meren needs at least 1 exp counter before running the combo otherwise the first time we sacrifice the Coretapper it will be put in our hand instead of returning on the battlefield. But it won’t be a problem if you have a way to give him haste to be able to tap.
• Blasting Station + Surrak and Goreclaw + Woodfall Primus: You tap the Blasting Station and sacrifice the Primus to deal 1 damage to creature/player then, thanks to persist, the Primus returns to the battlefield. When he does the Station untap, the Primus' ability triggers and he will get a -1/-1 counter from persist and a +1/+1 counter from Surrak and Goreclaw that will be removed in pairs. Repeat the process as you please. You can direct the damage dealt by the Station to players to win the game or to creatures to wipe them and the ability of the Primus to destroy every permanent non creature.
• Devoted Druid + Quillspike + Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord: Tap the Druid to get a green mana then put a -1/-1 counter on him and untap. Spend the green mana that you have and remove the -1/-1 counter on the Druid to activate Quillspike's ability that grants him +3/+3 until end of turn. Repeat the process at your will to boost Quillspike. If you have trample it's probably already enough but at this point comes our Jarad. His ability says: {1}{B}{G}, Sacrifice another creature: Each opponent loses life equal to the sacrificed creature's power" . Pretty self explanatory i suppose.
• Devoted Druid + Quillspike + Obelisk Spider: Same startingg process of the previous combo but with the Spider on the battlefield a great thing happens: each time we put a -1/-1 counter on Devoted Druid the Spider deals 1 damage to each opponent and we gain 1 life. It result in a fatal damage.
• Necrotic Ooze + Devoted Druid + Fain, the Broker: This combo will need the Ooze on battlefield and able to tap while the other two creatures have to be in the GY so to have their abilities used by the Ooze. there are 3 steps: 1) Tap the Ooze to add green mana the untap and put a -1/-1 counter on it. Tap and using the ability of Fain remove the -1/-1 counter creating a Treasure Token. Then untap putting again the -1/-1 counter and tap to remove the counter and create another Treasure. It results in infinite artifact Treasure Tokens. 2) Now we have infinite mana and artifacts thanks to the first step. So now we can untap the Ooze how many times we need just spending {3}{B} thanks to Fain's last ability. Tap the Ooze to sacrifice an artifact (we have limitless Treasure Tokens) with Fain's third ability and create a creature a 2/1 white and black Inkling creature token with flying then untap spending 5 Treasure tokens and repeat at will. It results in infinite creatures tokens. 3) We have infinite mana, Treasures and creatures so we can use Fain's first ability to boost them. We keep using Fain's last ability to untap at will and using the first one to sacrifice an infinite number of creature tokens to put two +1/+1 counters on another creature. It results in an infinite number of creature tokens with infinite power and toughness. If there's Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord or Blasting Station it's enough using their abilities to blast directly the others players but if we have nothing else on the battlefield we will need to wait 1 more turn to wait for the end of summoning sickness and attack with our army of tokens each opponent. Note that we can start the combo right before the start of our turn while the our previous opponent is ending his turn so we minimize the waiting time and risks of interfering by ours opponents.
