Lines of play:

Necrotic ooze on field with walking ballista/triskellion and phyrexian devourer in the grave kills a table

Mike/trike is tried and true and trike can be subbed for ballista if you have a sac outlet

I've had to mill opponents with altar of dementia and Hogaak before

Getting Izoni into play with a stacked grave and then reanimating craterhoof normally kills a table

Korazda guildmage with Hogaak and altar of dementia go infinite to make saprolings

And if all else fails, it's really easy to get razaketh and Vilis into play and you can go for slow beats with them and Hogaak.

I have killed tables with cmdr damage from Gaak.

If you get backed into a corner and you refuse to give your opponents the satisfaction of killing you, don't scoop, kill yourself by loss of life from villis.

Hogaak and greater good were born to be together

Cards like primal order give you easy ways to finish a game quickly, get either craterhoof or Izoni to make an instant board or to grow your board by a ton!

Hogaak started as a meme for me but became an extremely fun pet deck that puts stompy and combo together in an amazing fashion. I have even brought this to my local meta's cEDH scene and taken down several tables. Move over Jaraad, there's a new Golgari King in town, Hogaak Arisen Necropolis
