Hapatra -1/-1 deck. Culmination of many ideas seen from many Hapatra EDH decks.

Serrated Arrows / Trigon of Corruption + Contagion Engine/Contagion Clasp + Crumbling Ashes :Extremely good creature removal before start of turn with good proliferate engines to keep removal going. Constant Snek generation.

Grave Pact + Skullclamp + snek tokens OR Grave Pact + Skullclamp + From Beyond/ Awakening Zone :More creature removal. Second Variation pays for itself when sacking the tokens generated. Doubles as a massive card draw. Pact and one of the Eldrazi generators is amazing board removal. Opponent casts a creature, sack a token, triggering Pact to sac the cast creature (I got hate on this one).

Cryptolith Rite + Paradox Engine:With as many sneks being generated, this is a HUGE mana ramp. In combination with From Beyond/ Awakening Zone , 2 mana per token generated after sacking.

Devoted Druid + Quillspike :Infinite snek generation. Nest of Scarabs and Flourishing Defenses can infinite off of this as well.

Blowfly Infestation + Parallel Lives + 1 snek token:Infinite sneks. Nest of Scarabs and Flourishing Defenses, see above...

Viridian Longbow + snek token:INSANE board control on any creature without indestructible.

Other card draws in my tutors ( Eldritch Evolution , Tamyio's Journal, Diabolic Tutor and Diabolic Intent ), Aetherworks Marvel, and Dusk Urchins . Other removal in Vraska the Unseen . Black Sun's Zenith for board wipe/MASS snek generation. Ring of Xathrid goes on Hapatra as soon as possible to protect against its own -1/-1 counters.

Updates Add

Added Skittles (Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon) and Black Market.

With the amount of creatures this deck sends to the grave, Black Market has the potential to get crazy really fast.

Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon is really just to give this deck a biggie in case token swarming and stated combos dont roll. Plus, infect is fun in commander! /s

All this at the cost of Commander's Sphere (Market provides better ramp and scales better) and Stinging Shot (an instant to just target fliers, when Skittles makes fliers look at other players).
