snek shenanigans ensue

This deck works as half token/counter generator and half cruel control. You'll want to place -1/-1 counters on everything. You can protect your own creatures with buffs like Snake Umbra/Creakwood Liege/Ivy Lane Denizen/Cauldron of Souls etc, sack them at instant speed to fizzle exile and draw with Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, which gives the added bonus of allowing you to kill off tapped sneks with -1/-1 counters, only for them to come back to the field untapped, with The Ozolith holding onto the counters of anything that dies for later redistribution. Why don't more hapatra builds use Ozolith? Baffles my mind

Some fun tricks involve Skullclamp, Glistening Oil, Fiend Artisan and more.

There is an infinite combo or two (Yawgmoth + Zulaport Cutthroat/Obelisk Spider + Hapatra and one with Channeler Initiate) but that's not really what this deck is about.

This deck is about watching everyone else be too afraid to play any creatures and letting you build up your army of Deathtouchers. Then using your army to make sure they can't play them without sacking, dying or making more sneks.

One wincon is tutoring for Fynn, the Fangbearer. Now all your snek give 2 poison counters, one for each fang I guess. Easily proliferate with Evolution Sage, Parallel Lives, Doubling Season and many more.
