I can't stop myself, this commander is too damn good

Wincons are:

1. Make a 27/27 Varolz with trample by using Buried Alive or Protean Hulk fetching Phyrexian Dreadnought, Death's Shadow and Brawn, scavenge the big boys then swing for commander damage.

2. Do the same, with less effort by putting the counters onto Blinkmoth Nexus, while avoiding sorcery speed creature removal/wipes.

3. A little more complex here, Syr Konrad, the Grim, The Gitrog Monster, Dakmor Salvage and 8 cards in hand, go to cleanup, discard Dakmor, trigger draw from Gitrog, dredge 2, return Dakmor to your hand and mill 2.Now you got 8 cards in hand again, clean up, repeat, creatures will hit the graveyard and Syr Konrad will ping everyone. Eventually just Vigor and Dread will be on the library, this makes the combo infinite, until you discard things other than lands.

4. This one is sort of an asshole combo, but well, Varolz is a free sac outlet on the command zone, so if you happen to have Melira, Sylvok Outcast and Woodfall Primus on the field, there you go, you blow up everyone's lands. I'm sure your opponents will love that.

5. Eternal Witness, Phyrexian Altar and Living Death Combo.

And there you have it.
