This is my take on a Lonis, Cryptozoologist edh deck. Not the most competitive out there but definitely fun and can win you some games. The mvp of this deck is Academic Manufactor, and I've added multiple ways to tutor him into your hand or onto the field, such as Tamiyo's Journal or Whir of Invention.

We have of course a nice number of creatures in our deck, with most having etb abilities to profit off of Lonis, and a handful of blink spells with Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, Ghostly Flicker and Displace.

The main goal of this deck is to tutor for our Manufactor, and using the value he gives us steal all of our opponent's nonland permanents. In order to do that we need to have a less aggressive approach and hopefully just stall for time until we are ready to go off. I've hidden a multitude of infinite combos that I won't bother mentioning down here, they'll become apparent through play.

I do recognize a relative lack of protection for our board and prevention of others, but I'll just loop back to keeping a lower profile and stalling for time. Don't be afraid to use some creatures as blockers. There is value everywhere in the deck.

I hope you enjoy what I've created and as always suggestions and comments are welcome.

Toodles!
