Abzan control deck with Yorion as companion. Ramp, blinking loop, Vorinclex + planeswalker/ozolith combo.

The deck uses Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider to boost counters on sagas, planeswalkers, and +1/+1 through the The Ozolith. Vorinclex also nerfs the opponent's planeswalkers and sagas.

The Yorion, Sky Nomad blink cycle can be setup with some combination of Sword of the Realms, Kaya the Inexorable, Athreos, Shroud-Veiled or Liliana, Waker of the Dead's emblem, along with removal or Fiend Artisan on Yorion. Also Flicker of Fate can be re-run using retrieval like Bala Ged Recovery  

Fiend Artisan and Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire also offer a nice tutor package to find removal and combo pieces.

The ramp package is mostly Dream Devourer plus Binding the Old Gods, with mana fixing using Binding to tutor up Indatha Triome (since it is a Forest).

Some fun counter tricks are using Ozolith to move around ghostform and coin counters, or blinking Grakmaw, Skyclave Ravager and Polukranos, Unchained to move their counters around and quadruple them with Vorinclex.
