At the moment this deck has a few options for infinite combos, but I don't want it to be annoying / bad for friends to play against 1v1 or in 3-4 player games. However, without the infinite combos my Ghave deck has generally been much weaker than my friend's EDH decks.

I have been trying to add a lot of "whenever a creature enters/leaves the battlefield" effects to try and get maximum use out of Ghave's abilities.
