Combos

They all start with Frog + Dakmor + Discard outlet. The entire combo costs 8, 2 for Noose Constrictor/Wild Mongrel, 2 for Lotus Cobra, and 4 for Splendid Reclamation.

Dredge the library in the graveyard, discarding in response to draw triggers until you hit Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, let that trigger resolve to shuffle. This can be repeated nondeterministically until you draw your library.

Play Lotus Cobra (2 mana spent)

Discard all lands except Dakmor to draw the library.

Cast Splendid Reclamation (6 mana spent), making lots of mana via the Cobra.

Play Zuran Orb, discard nonlands equal to lands in play -1, discard Ulamog, sacrifice all lands (a number equal to cards in library) to draw the library.

Repeat.

Playing a spell such as Torment of Hailfire is one way of putting it into the graveyard.

Another payoff is Retreat to Hagra or beats with Noose Constrictor.

Other options include Beast Withining all opponents' lands followed by Mutilate. You can even do that then use Ever After/Victimize lines to regrow all the combo pieces.

Future Upgrades

Dark Ritual

I'm torn on this one. It has utility at every point in the game but I fear it would take me on a slippery slope towards a more cEDH list instead of being a fun value deck with combos.

Prismatic Vista

I'm banking on Vista being the cheapest of the fetches and will pick one up when it inevitably becomes a cheap fetch.
