Cheap walls, draw cards, exploit low power and high toughness.

Infinite Combos:

Intruder Alarm + Axebane Guardian + Wall of Kelp = infinite walls, infinite mana, infinite draw (add Lab Man for win)

Cloudstone Curio + Aluren + Arcades on field + non-artifact wall on field + non-artifact wall in hand = infinite draw, play pretty much every creature in deck for free (add Lab Man for win). Also works without arcades if one of the non-artifact walls has etb draw effect (lots of those in deck).

Combat Combos:

Tree of Redemption + Freed from the Real + 2U = really big angry whomping willow (it's big anyway, but this way it gets really really big). Pair with unblockable effects like Tetsuko, Skeleton Key, Rogue's Passage, or Suspicious Bookcase for instant kill. Added benefit: if Tree's toughness is buffed I end up gaining life when I switch back my life with its toughness.
