There are lots of ways to win with the Moose Lobster. It all boils downs to saving your waterlogged woodland friends from local bullies like Thrasios and Phelddagrif. To accomplish this goal, you must wade into the water hole and engage in the Epic Struggle of Mortal Combat against rival Critters. Who will stand on the Helix Pinnacle? Who will earn the title of Nethroi, Apex of Death in this game of Survival of the Fittest?

Let me cut the Bull Moose scat and get to the berries.

This deck is all about alternate win-cons. That means no infinite combos, but nearly every playable "you lose the game / I win the game" card in the Abzan wedge. Most of these win-con revolve around an aristocrats game-plan of mass reanimation and sacrificing for value, perfectly complimenting our commander.

A list of win-cons follows...

Mortal Combat wins with a full graveyard.

Epic Struggle wins with a full battlefield.

Felidar Sovereign and Angel of Destiny win with life-gain.

Inkmoth Nexus wins with infect.

The Meathook Massacre wins through non-combat life loss.

Eldrazi Monument wins through combat life loss.

Approach of the Second Sun wins 7 turns from now...

Altar of Dementia wins through decking.

Syr Konrad, the Grim provides a win with self-mill.

Liliana's Contract provides a win with demons.

Helix Pinnacle provides a win with mana investment.

Revel in Riches provides a win through treasure.

The Deck of Many Things wins with a D20.

Vorpal Sword wins with activation.

Vraska the Unseen wins with her ultimate.

Through mana investment, Shaman of Forgotten Ways wins with biorhythm.

And finally... Primal Surge and Eerie Ultimatum win through fair synergy.
