This is a mid-range deck utilizing stax and hatebears to impact our opponents while we assemble the proper cards to combo out. I've made this deck with a few different loops, once my LGS opens back up and I can actually play test the deck I will modify it but for now its all theory. The Maybe Board are cards that I wish to purchase to add to the deck, everything in the current list I own.

Infinite mana/mill loop: Devoted Druid + Hashep Oasis or Centaur Garden give Devoted Druid +3/+3 allowing it to add 3 green mana and 3 -1/-1 counters. Note: This only works with Tayam, Luminous Enigma on the field. Use this mana to active Tayam, Luminous Enigma milling ourselves for 3 digging through our deck for our combo.

The Combo: With Devoted Druid and our commander online, we mill our deck into the graveyard with the goal of getting Corpse Knight onto the field then Leonin Relic-Warder into the grave and casting Animate Dead, Dance of the Dead, or Necromancy to create a loop of Leonin Relic-Warder entering and exiting the the battlefield pinging each of our opponents until they die.

Backup Combo: Having Corpse Knight on the battlefield and a sacrifice outlet, currently Phyrexian Altar and Ashnod's Altar, using a loop with Saffi Eriksdotter and Renegade Rallier to recur each other again pinging our opponents to death.

Notable inclusions:

Wall of Roots is a solid defender at 0/5 but we really want too active that ability on each of our opponents turns as to capitalize on our commanders ability. Riftsweeper is included in case of any stop removal that isn't put into our graveyard we can recur. Fiend Artisan is great because we can recur most of what we sacrifice and can tutor for most of our hatebears or our Devoted Druid most of the time.

Protection: Heroic Intervention in case of spot removal or board wipe. Silence to ensure we can go off. Autumn's Veil and Veil of Summer for general protection and to ensure we can go off. Ranger-Captain of Eos is nice that we can tutor up a mana dork to our hands but his ability to be sacrificed to prevent opponents from casting noncreature spells in why he is included. Grand Abolisher allows us to go off uninterrupted.

If you liked this list please be sure to give an Upvote!

I would appreciate any and all feed back on the deck, thanks for checking it out!
