All aboard the Ghave express! Next stop: Infinite!

(Also check out the 1v1 variant, Captain Ghaveman: French 1v1 Variant)

My Ghave, Guru of Spores EDH deck. It has grown from being a simple synergistic deck into a degenerate combo themed deck with the sole purpose of going infinite. Originally the idea was to be competative against other combo decks in my playgroup, but it went above and beyond that as I started to enjoy having a really synergistic deck. There are infinite combo's abound, whether it be infinite mana, card draw, tokens, damage, permanent destruction, graveyard recursion, it's all here. Tutor effects are there to get your combo pieces, with plenty of spot removal to stop other peoples combos getting off.

With infinite combo aside, there are still some synergistic cards within the deck:

• Avenger of Zendikar. Lots of tokens to sac.
• Scavenging Ooze. Graveyard hate with +1+1 tokens.

Tutors: Eladamri's Call, Enlightened Tutor, Demonic Tutor, Beseech the Queen, Idyllic Tutor, Diabolic Intent.

I realize I need more infinite sac outlets.
