---

A Patron of the Orochi deck that looks to either Stax or combo (non-infinite) out to win. This deck looks to abuse the commander's untapping to generate extremely unfair advantage while hoping the rest of the table is semi-locked down via some traditional and some nontraditional Stax elements:

• Lodestone Golem
• Meekstone
• Null Rod
• Static Orb
• Tangle Wire
• Winter Orb
• Mishra's Helix
• Smokestack
• Hall of Gemstone
• Ritual of Subdual

The deck has many synergies with untapping via Patron, and can usually win off of that advantage or just generic green good-stuff ramp. By choice I have left out Tooth and Nail though it does make the deck better (but more boring). Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger is also not in there though would make the deck better. Craterhoof Behemoth comes in and out as I like to tune it down a bit and winning with it becomes repetitive. Greater Good is an all star in this deck.

The deck runs a few semi-suboptimal cards just because they are snakes and can turn on flashing Patron in; the ones I run have some marginal benefit outside of that, protection via Kashi-Tribe Elite , beatdown with Chameleon Colossus, some card draw with Ohran Viper. I don't own a Lotus Cobra but have been tempted to test it with the full suite of Forest fetchlands.

Cards I am considering adding, but am hesitant to for keeping the deck a little more casual, are:

I'm welcome to suggestions, thanks!
