"True" Elder Dragon Highlander deck, with full singleton rules down to basic lands, and all old-border.

A bit of an Enchantress theme going on (which is what old Bant does best), and a bit of a graveyard theme. Really leaning into the repeatable regrowths of Hanna, Ship's Navigator and Skull of Orm as the intersection of these two themes; they can transform the looting effects and Spellshaper abilities into card-advantage engines. The ideal board state is to get an repeatable untapper out (e.g. Seedborn Muse or Awakening with some mana sinks and/or Spellshapers to break the symmetry (or take virtual extra turns).

Primary wincons are either Commander damage or stealing someone else's good creatures via auras, Bribery, Blatant Thievery, etc.
