He's the garbage man. He eats garbage. He goes infinite by harnessing the power of the mercury-polluted horseshoe crab.

Snow-Covered lands are literally just for style points.

SOMETHING LIKE 5 OR 6 YEARS LATER OR SO, IDK

Okay so this is a deck that I've always enjoyed playing, but I've also always had to go into the mindset of "you will play solitaire as everyone else tries to focus you down; you will either die first or pop off and win it all." That's been great. It's fun to have a deck like that when none of my others are that style. However, I've thought lately that it would probably be more fun for everyone, myself included, if it had a little more interaction. It would also likely make it win more often. So I've added more interactions to answer with and bodies to block with. I've also removed some less desirable cage effects and made some difficult cuts in order to put in more churn, because I did notice this deck often had problems with running out of steam and going into topdeck mode. So these edits should make it both more consistent and more fun for everyone involved.

This is the song-joke for this deck because the chorus mentions a cage, and if someone else exiles Quicksilver Elemental before you can, you've lost your "one chance" at going infinite. Those are literally the only reasons.
