Making sense of everything:

• Low-cost, high-toughness cards for Bane trigger.
• High-cost, low-toughness cards to maximize Bane trigger.
• The above two points work well with permanents that grow toughness but have low printed toughness.
• Make extra draw extra threatening so that the punisher trigger is a harder choice.
• Sac outlets and self-sac to trigger Bane.
• Mostly combo win-cons, not really combat damage.
