Little Miss Saffi just loves sacrificing herself for the Greater Good...if only she could tutor that card up all by herself!

This is a combo deck masquerading as a value deck, plain and simple. I think there are over 10 infinite combos in this deck...pretty strong eh? Yeah, this deck tends to win out of nowhere, especially if the game drags on. This deck is known to prolong the game until it wins using its wide selection of "combat denial" strategies, and it's many forms of interaction. The sheer amount of interaction in the deck makes it a pleasure to play, as I'm always making an impact on the game.

What further pushes this deck's power level is the sheer amount of tutors I run. Finale of Devastation, Woodland Bellower, and Eldritch Evolution are some of the best, as they put the tutored creature right onto the battlefield. The funny thing is that I could put even better tutors into the deck to further augment it's power. Amongst all the other strengths that Green has, tutoring for creatures is one of it's best.

The primary strategy of the deck is to play Saffi on turn two, and deal with opponents while you slowly assemble combo pieces utilizing tutors/draw. The deck has a mix of removal, hatebears, and fog-effects, to deal with the assortment of deck archetypes that one can expect to encounter in EDH. Peacekeeper laughs at aggro decks, stopping them from even getting attack triggers. Gaddock Teeg laughs at control and combo decks, denying them boardwipes and various infinite mana win conditions. Scavenging Ooze laughs at graveyard decks, as it eats their win conditions. Stopping your opponents from winning is merely half of the winning equation, as we must win ourselves. We do that using the numerous infinite combos in this deck.

Saffi can infinitely recur multiple creatures in this deck, with the help of a sac outlet like Altar of Dementia:

Renegade Rallier, Sun Titan, Reveillark, Timely Hordemate, Shepherd of the Cosmos and Karmic Guide

Saffi + any of these cards + a free sac outlet = Mass or infinite effects from the sac outlet you are using, e.g. Altar of Dementia allows you to mill all of your opponents out, while Phyrexian Altar gives you infinite mana.

The primary struggle in this deck is getting to a free sac outlet. Green/White doesn't have many options for free sac outlets on creatures, only having Reaper of Flight Moonsilver if you have delirium. I tend to tutor for cheaper, non-free sac outlets such as Starved Rusalka if I have a recursive creature early on, as getting delirium tends to be a bit difficult in this creature-heavy deck.

Other combos utilizing sac outlets include:

Sun Titan + Angelic Renewal

Sun Titan + Fiend Hunter

Renegade Rallier + Angelic Renewal

Shepherd of the Cosmos + Angelic Renewal

Reveillark + Karmic Guide

Luminous Broodmoth + Solemnity + A creature without Flying

Vizier of Remedies + Woodfall Primus = Destroy all non-creature permanents!! (I sure do love destroying all of my opponents' lands!)

And here are a few other fun combos:

Vizier of Remedies + Devoted Druid = Infinite Green Mana

Vizier of Remedies + Devoted Druid + Finale of Devastation = Any creature in your deck onto the battlefield + Infinitely Big Hasty Creatures

Boonweaver Giant getting Pattern of Rebirth + Boonweaver's death = Tutor for any creature in this deck and put it into play.

So, all in all, this deck is all about sacrifice. Will you sacrifice your creatures just for value, or to win it all? Only time will tell. :D
