Take three of my Basandra EDH deck, experimentally incorporating some recent cards up through AVR.

Generally, your goal is to mess with combat enough -- through Basandra's own ability, combined with attack deterrents -- to keep opponents off-balance until you're ready to just go over the top. There's enough redundancy in deterrents that usually only a combo deck can seriously threaten you, and you have some ways to deal with that (plus, the other players at the table will all be gunning for the combo guy!).

And once you're ready to go, you've got the firepower to end games quickly. Sometimes you won't even have to spend much time with deterring other people; if you hit Gisela or True Conviction (or, god help your opponents, both), you can often just start KO'ing other players without needing to worry much.
