Alesha!

Aggro deck turned into combo deck. Then the EDH deck turned into a cEDH.

The combos included in the deck involve the following:

Non-infinite Finishers

These are harder to execute and get right then the infinite combos, hence more fun for me. Also, the combos in the list of possible infinites below would fit here when used with a sacrifice outlet that requires mana to activate.

• Vizkopa Guildmage + Children of Korlis + any of the life loss the deck offers, including, but not limited to: Wall of Blood, Crypt Rats and Treasonous Ogre. It helps to have a higher life total than the other players, but activiting Vizkopa Guildmage's second ability twice goes a long way.

Possible 'infinite' combos

Most of what is described down here works with free sacrifice outlets. For now I have only three, more or less on purpose, because going infinite is not really my intention: Goblin Bombardment, Viscera Seer and Altar of Dementia.
If you want to make the combos below easier I would suggest adding the following cards: Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Altar and Yahenni, Undying Partisan (the last two mentioned here I don't even own). If you wish the sacrifice outlets that need mana could also be swapped: Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim or Disciple of Griselbrand.

1. Crypt Champion + Fiend Hunter + a free sacrifice outlet. This interaction is kind of tricky, so an explanation might be in order. Let Crypt Champion enter the battlefield with Fiend Hunter in the graveyard. Both triggered abilities of the Champion will be put on the stack and you can choose in which order: putting the sacrifice ability on the stack first and then the recursion ability, which will then resolve first. With the recursion ability bring back Fiend Hunter causing its ability to be put on the stack on top of Champion's sac trigger targetting the Champion. With Fiend Hunter having exiled the Champion the sac trigger of Champion will fizzle. Then sacrifice the Hunter to keep doing this. The free sac outlet involved will decide what happens:
   • Altar of Dementia will let you sacrifice Fiend Hunter for infinite mill.
   • Goblin Bombardment will let you sacrifice Fiend Hunter for infinite damage.
   • If you wish to include these the Altars will net you infinite mana sacrificing the Hunter.
   • Viscera Seer will let you sac the Hunter for infinite scrying.
   
   
2. Karmic Guide + Fiend Hunter + a free sacrifice outlet: is basically an easier version of the Champion combo above, since you don't have to worry about the sacrifice timing of the Champion.


3. The following cards have been included in the deck for their stand-alone value, but these happen to be two of the best combo cards white has to offer: Reveillark + Karmic Guide + a free sacrifice outlet. There are plenty of sites explaining the combo to unfamiliar players, so I won't rehash that. Viscera Seer will let you scry through your entire deck with just that card out. With a fourth creature like the following and keeping the Seer on the battlefield can do the following:
   • Gray Merchant of Asphodel: infinite life drain.
   • Recruiter of the Guard / Imperial Recruiter: 'infinite' tutors.
   • Pawn of Ulamog: 'infinite' spawn tokens and thus infinite colourless mana.
   • Dockside Extortionist with at least one player having an artifact or enchantment: infinite treasures.
   • The following combo has been cut for cheaper ramp in one of the Talismans, but you can easily put it back in.Solemn Simulacrum: all the lands and cards you need (don't draw yourself out).


4. Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker is (in)famous for its potential in going infinite. In this deck it works with Karmic Guide / Reveillark + a free sacrifice outlet.
   • Karmic Guide: If you copy the Guide with Kiki-Jiki and hold priority you can sac Kiki in response to the Guide token entering the battlefield. Once the Guide token does: return Kiki-Jiki to the battlefield and repeat. As mentioned above, the different sacrifice outlets give different results, but with any of them you'll end up with an arbitrary large amount of hasty 2/2 flying tokens.
   • Reveillark: copy Reveillark with Kiki, then sac Kiki and with Kiki in the grave sacrifice the Reveillark token bringing back Kiki and another 2 power creature in the graveyard to the battlefield.
