ITS A TRAP!

This is a K&T super jank combo deck designed to disguise itself as a group hug deck. Although the plan starts out as simply ramping, controlling the game, and casting Kynaios and Tiro eventually you want to assemble a 5-10 power Infect creature, then cast a (possibly copied) Chandra's Ignition on it - killing all your opponents.

Backup plans include Burning Anger to kill 1 player at a time, going for a regular damage kill with Gisela, or Legacy style Glistener Elf->Invigorate->Berserk beatdown if the cards line up (and someone needs to die).

I've haven't played this deck much since around 2019, but when I have its been a blast, playing in 99% power "Anything less than full cEDH" Tables. But of course I'm still looking for suggestions, I'm sure I can do better with some of my pump spells (Bonehoard has been kind of bad, Nantuko Mentor also has just been ok) and I'm not really sure if I can handle more utility lands than my Strip mine. I have the Expedition map mostly for Boseiju and when I have it I just end up finding Command Tower. I'm also kind of looking for a spot for Dowsing Dagger, to help with both the disguise and since I often take so much mana on the "going off" turn. It has been so long since I've played this deck im sure there have been I'm sure there have been many upgrades that I'm not even considering.

Thx for taking a look, what should I change/upgrade from the last few years?
