all in combo variant

i cut most of the backup wincons. the answer to praetor's grasp is a counterspell or scoop.

see I Can't Believe It's Not Pod for a more complete primer

this list runs a bunch of 2 cmc utility creatures. if you have an untapper on the board or in hand, you can pod into one of these to start off the combo line to get out of some bad situations:

Nantuko Tracer : get this if a combo piece is in your graveyard

Riftsweeper : get this if a combo piece is exiled, or get it after you have infinite mana from Peregrine Drake and Deadeye Navigator if Reality Shift is exiled

Stern Proctor : get this if there is a problematic artifact or enchantment such as Rest in Peace or Blind Obedience on the battlefield

Sylvan Ranger : get this if you only have 2 lands

Whirlpool Rider : get this if you have a combo piece in your hand. dump as much of your hand as possible before doing this to minimize the chances of drawing a combo piece.

other notable inclusions:

Vizier of Tumbling Sands : get this if you have lightning greaves or concordant crossroads. without vizier those lines require too much mana and are not worth including in my opinion.

Savage Summoning : this card is almost as good as concordant crossroads and the deck runs 2 tutors that can get it.

Nature's Lore and Three Visits : this deck really needs 3 lands to work. these fetch some of your best lands and they come in untapped. they can also fetch dryad arbor if you have no other creatures.

backup plan:

i lied there is a backup plan. it is Tooth and Nail for Peregrine Drake + Deadeye Navigator for infinite mana, then win with either an etb creature or a haste enabler. the etb creature options are Spellseeker , Eternal Witness , Whirlpool Rider , Trophy Mage , Selvala, Heart of the Wilds , or Body Double with a relevant etb creature in the graveyard. with a haste enabler and another creature you can pod into an etb creature. the relevant tutors for the etb creatures or haste enablers are Worldly Tutor (at end step of opponent's turn), Muddle the Mixture , and Green Sun's Zenith . all together there are 12 relevant options so there is a relatively high chance of having one.

i am aware that Tooth and Nail is not really a cedh-worthy card. this is the backup plan and it is unlikely that you would ever want to attempt this before turn 5 or 6. this deck can get to a surprising amount of mana very quickly so the 9 mana cost of entwined Tooth and Nail isn't a huge issue if the game goes that long.

other options for backup plan:

Umbral Mantle : Umbral Mantle + Selvala, Heart of the Wilds is infinite mana. can also combo with Priest of Titania or untap creatures and Gaea's Cradle

Staff of Domination : infinite mana and card draw with Priest of Titania and 4 other elves, or Kiora's Follower / Vizier of Tumbling Sands / Fatestitcher with Gaea's Cradle and 4 other creatures.

Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal : infinite mana and untaps but doesn't win the game without another card. hard/expensive to tutor for. Dramatic Reversal isn't the worst card for this deck outside the combo but not ideal that it's 2 slots and you need both cards.

very open to hearing more ideas for the backup plan, not really satisfied with any of these.
