This is a relatively casual EDH deck that exploits various synergies between Ghave, Guru of Spores and counter/token generators. While the deck has several infinite combos (Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat alongside infinite token triggers: Ghave, Guru of Spores + Ivy Lane Denizen + Utopia Mycon , or Good-Fortune Unicorn + Puppeteer Clique + any sac engine) this is not how we usually aim to win the game. While powerful in its own right, the deck is not intended to be highly competitive and I actively avoid cards that slow down the game or clutter the board. This means avoiding tutors, as well as cards like Cathars' Crusade that are insanely powerful but a nightmare to keep track of. The deck is mostly complete, although I'm still looking to pick up several control pieces like Woodfall Primus.

One issue I have within my playgroup is dealing with fliers, and I'm struggling to decide how much flying hate to include. I'm happy with the three anti-flying cards in the deck currently (Gravity Well, Whirlwind, and Whiptongue Hydra, but I think i need at least one more, probably Hornet Queen or perhaps Downdraft.

The deck also has a mediocre curve, and does very little until reaching 6-7 mana. I'm open to feedback about improving this. Perhaps I should double down on ramp to get their more consistently?
