Abracadabra ... now you are a Sheep

This is a gimmick deck based around the combo Ovinomancer + Aluren + Concordant Crossroads. Well, how does it work?:

1. Aluren: Cast Ovinomancer without paying the mana cost
2. Haste: Negate the drawback of Ovinomancer by activating its ability in response to its ETB-effect. The result: You destroy a creature and bounce Ovinomancer back to your hand even before you have to return three basic lands to your hand.
3. Rinse and repeat with indestructible-cards like Withstand Death, for a sheep army.

The strategy is simple: assemble your combo pieces, control the board by Ovinizeing all creatures. Create an infinite sheep herd with Withstand Death.

Why am I play Moritte of the Frost instead of Chulane, Teller of Tales as my commander? - Moritte is an obvious choice because I always wanted to put a sheep token into play just to use it as my vanilla 0/1 commander. For any other situation it can act as a multiplier (copying Metallic Mimic or Beast Whisperer...).

The Wincons? - Epic Struggle - Overrun - Throne of the God-Pharaoh: imagine you attack with a horde of 0/1 sheep and each opponent loses the game. Just amazing!
