Prototype for local tabletop club brew-off; I got Sultai and when in Sultai...

Strategy:

Tending the Graveyard

You want as big a graveyard as possible. Dredgers like Life from the Loam,Stinkweed Imp, and Golagari grave-troll provide cheap and reusable ways to get as many cards into graveyard as possible to dig for pieces. Mesmeric Orb and Keening Stone assist in dumping cards into graveyard at mach speeds.

Lands. Lands! LANDS!

Pretty standard ramp package. Strip mine is there for the inevitable Rogue's Passage or Dark Depths (or if you're an asshole, your opponent's basics). Glacial Chasm allows us to become untouchable at the cost of one land per turn, but that can be negated with something like Kaya's Ghostform + Sakura-Tribe Elder .

Creatures

The majority of these creatures are reusable utility/VALUE. One interesting combo I saw was with Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker + Spore Frog , where you can fog every turn.

How do you win?

There are two major paths to victory as of current: 1. Turning thicc cards like Apocalypse Demon or Splinterfright sideways at enemies, or 2. Milling your entire library using things like Altar of Dementia + Apocalypse Demon , Mesmeric Orb, and/or Keening Stone and then winning with Commander's Sphere + Laboratory Maniac .

Lemme know what y'all think of my $300 budget build!
