Win with Baru using his second ability. As far as I am aware, I'm the first person to do this. Album of deck: http://imgur.com/a/bMhDU

The main combo involves Dual Nature ; Temur Sabertooth or Erratic Portal ; Paleoloth ; and Concordant Crossroads or Akroma's Memorial .

I have these in play, then cast Baru. He enters the battlefield and triggers the first ability of Dual Nature. In response, we bounce Baru, trigger Dual Nature's second ability. Once Baru is back in hand the second ability resolves, then the first, giving us a Baru Token. We discard Baru to get an X/X Wurm token and keep Baru in the graveyard. The Wurm token ETB will trigger Paleoloth, allowing us to return Baru to out hand. We repeat a good number of times, then swing to kill all our opponents.

The main plan of the deck is to pillowfort until we can get the combo, since we cannot reliably tutor for Dual Nature, or either Haste Enabler.

I have tutors, graveyard recursion, card draw, removal, and my key combo cards. The deck performs well, and unless targeted from the start will usually achieve 1st or 2nd in a group game.
