This is an Abzan Aristocrats deck using Ghave's ability to pump out fodder just to be sacrificed over and over, triggering all the death triggers you can dream of. However unlike most aristocrat decks, along with using Saproling Sac fodder, this deck also abuses the Undying mechanic, using Ghave's ability to remove a +1/+1 counter. So not only do your undying creatures stay undying but you also create more saprolings off their quote unquote "deaths".

Most combos in this deck are your typical Aristocrat goodstuff that involve saccing creatures to generate value and sap away opponents lifes, you'll see them in most Aristocrat decks, but for the more budding EDH player who would like not to make friends, the commander or paired with Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar on a Sac Fodder with Undying will net you infinite Death Triggers and infinite Saprolings using Ghave's first ability, along with infinite colorless mana if done with specifically the Ashnod's Altar. Best part is this can all be done between your turns, meaning on your next turn you'll be able to swing with infinite saprolings if that's your style, or if a Blood Artist or the like is out you can just use that initially to drain opponents. Spike Rogue paired with Ashnod's Altar also works this way, albeit not as flavorful since its not your commander at the head of the combo piece.

Looking for more suggestions!
