This started off as a budget brew with having stuff enter tapped... It's turned into a combination of having stuff enter untapped as payoff and hindering your opponents as much as possible. Using landfall ultimately win the game with either ruin crab or retreat to hagra. It's a value oriented deck seeking to hinder opponents in ways it doesn't hinder itself a lot.

There's one infinite that I know off and that involves three pieces provided Archelos is out and untapped (yes yes technically four, stop nagging): Patron of the Moon + Any of the bounce lands (in hand) + Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait or Tatyova, Benthic Druid. Patron of the moon allows you to pay 1 mana to put up to 2 lands on the field. We put a bounce land from our hand onto the battlefield. In response to the bounce trigger we tap it for 2 mana and float that mana and choose to bounce the bounce land itself back to hand. We also get an Aesi/Tatyova trigger to draw a card. Enjoy drawing your library. (Should probably add something like a lab man in here but eh. Just pray you hit Retreat to Hagra or Ruin Crab soon enough).

PS: If you're wondering about the massive maybe list: that's all the cards that I cut out.
