Do you like big, ridiculous creatures?! Do you like casting them for free?! Do you like Infinite Mana?! Do you like doubling counters?! Do you like almost decking yourself on accident?! Do you like playing every card in your deck on one turn?!

Then have I got a deck for you!

Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle leads this monster mash of a suedo-Sea Monster set up. Here we including a very simple Infinite combo by pairing him with Pemmin's Aura OR Freed from the Real. From there, we would like to sink our mana into 1 of 2 places, if not both:

Genesis Wave- We will draw out all PERMANENTS from the deck and put them into play. Potentiall followed up with Laboratory Maniac

Finale of Devastation- For the big beefy swing

Now we don't all love infinite combos, so let's talk about the "big enough" combos.

Good ole' Kalonian Hydra and Prime Speaker Zegana work amazing together. How about we get Defense of the Heart to grab us Zegana and Nezahal, Primal Tide, for cards and No Max Hand Size. Already have NMHS? Grab Worldspine Wurm instead and draw even more.

Traverse the Outlands is a staple for Arix, as we are grabbing a ton of land just for ramp purposes, but imagine, in magical christmas land, that you have Rampaging Baloths and Elemental Bond in play. each of the 12 lands ETB, trigger for a 4/4 beast, and those beast draw you a card. That's some value.

Selvala, Heart of the Wilds is loving having Worldspine Wurm and Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle around for all that mana and card draw.

Maybe we should flicker Terastodon infinite times with Deadeye Navigator?

Or Mesmerizing Benthid just to flood the board with cute little jellyfish illusions

This isn't necessarily meant to be super competitive, but on the higher end of casual. Suggestions and +1s would be great!
