NOTE This is a deck from Icaruskid on TappedOut that I updated, original rights go to him. Thank you for a very cool deck to build from!EndNote

This deck uses the infamous combo of Hermit Druid, Dread Return, and Necrotic Ooze to generate infinite mana and win the game. So most games involve interesting ways to quickly find and activate Hermit Druid which is the first piece of that combo. Sometimes you dig for him with Ponder, Tracker's Instincts, Grisly Salvage, or Breakthrough. Sometimes you Reanimate him from your graveyard following an Entomb or Buried Alive. And sometimes you tutor for him with Diabolic Intent, Fauna Shaman, or Scheming Symmetry. Once you have found him, activating his ability dumps your entire library into the graveyard immediately since there are no basic lands in the deck.

This same activation makes Dread Return free to cast to get Necrotic Ooze on the battlefield (Plan A below explains how this works). That crafty ooze then mimics creatures now in the graveyard to create infinite mana.

Finally, once you have infinite mana, Necrotic Ooze mimics Bloodrite Invoker and dumps all that mana into his lifedrain ability to win the game. If that plan is disrupted, Laboratory Maniac is another way to win when your entire library is in your graveyard. And if that fails, reanimation can bring back threats a second time, even via The Mimeoplasm itself. So reanimation and counterspells both help protect the combo and push through disruption.
