This deck started many years ago as a group hug build for Phelddagrif. As my play group pushed their decks towards competitive play I was left doubling their mana, giving them free card draw, and sometimes even free creatures. It was great fun for awhile but with a few tier 1-1.5 decks in my pod, I have now decided I would stop helping them and start making games a little longer and not as streamlined.

This deck is a WIP, fringe competitive, stax deck that focuses on locking down the board/getting ahead early and then finishing our opponents off with Eldrazi Conscription on a (hopefully indestructible) infect creature, or with a Leveller Thassa's Oracle combo.

The goal of this deck is to hang with cEDH decks, disrupting their plays, and sometimes swinging in/combo-ing off for the win. This is no where near the most efficient configuration of this deck and I hope to keep it that way for now. If this deck was to truly become efficient it would need a functional commander as the hippo is more for show ;)

I would like to get this deck to a point where you can have multiple configurations, some being more competitive than others. As it stands I am open to all suggestions and feedback. I look forward to seeing where this deck can go!
