Heyo, This is a deck concept I built years ago, shortly after Melek was first released in Dragon's maze. Ultimately I took the deck apart because my opponents did not seem to enjoy playing against it, but every once in a while I consider rebuilding it.

The whole idea is to play a variety of hand cycling and scrying effects to try and find Proteus Staff, after that we simply activate it on our own general. This causes Melek to be sent to the bottom of our deck, we then reveal until we get any creature. However, you may have noticed that there are no other creatures in the deck. This means that our entire deck will be revealed, and Melek will be brought from the bottom of the deck back into play. This is where the fun begins, we now get to put all the revealed cards (and by that I mean our entire deck) on the bottom of our library. To put it simply, we get to stack our entire deck any way we choose.

Ultimately, this will result in a sequence of cards that will allow us to create a near infinite amount of resources and, hopefully, win the game.

I would love to hear any input or suggestions, I don't usually run combo but am considering giving this another shot.
