Yannik, Scavenging Sentinel basically requires you to "champion a creature" when it enters the battlefield. This means that you exile another creature you control until Yannik leaves the battlefield. It might seem small, but it is a completely busted and abusable ability.

All you need are any combination of three creatures that A) also have "champion a creature," B) exile any creature and return it when they leave the battlefield, or C) flicker another creature when they enter the battlefield. To go infinite in a single turn, the last ability needs to exile and return immediately, rather than waiting until the end of turn, but the "end of turn" flickering creatures still work with the deck's plan.

And that plan is to get unlimited ETBs and win the game. If you meet the above requirement with three creatures, what you do is exile the first one with the second one, then the second one with the third one. When this happens, the first one will return to the battlefield, which you then can have exile the third one, returning the second to exile the first, and so on, and so on.

With this, you can gain infinite life, draw your entire deck, generate infinite mana, make your creatures arbitrarily large, destroy all your opponents' creatures, mill away their decks, and/or drain away each other player's life for the win.

I tried to keep this list budget-friendly, but there were a few cards, like Aura Shards, which were too perfect not to include.

Suggestions welcome!
