A standard infinite combo deck, with Eldrazi Displacer as the centerpiece. It works this way:

1: Get Eldrazi Displacer, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Brood Monitor onto the battlefield.

2: Sacrifice the scions made by Brood Monitor to get three Zulaport Cutthroat triggers, and use the mana to activate Eldrazi Displacer's ability, blinking Brood Monitor , which makes three more scions.

3: Rinse and repeat until the opponent is at 0.

From Beyond, Evolutionary Leap, Oath of Nissa, and Nissa, Voice of Zendikar's ultimate all help us find missing combo pieces, and make the deck more capable of rebuilding in the face of enemy removal spells. The deck is rounded off with removal and disruption to help survive long enough to get the combo.

Currently, this build relies on colorless mana for Thought-Knot Seer and Spatial Contortion . Particularly, Thought-Knot Seer is here to get rid of opposing removal to clear the way for the combo. The deck also has a heavy emphasis on green mana to help cast the set up cards (particularly Oath of Nissa), allow for multiple Evolutionary Leap activations in one turn, and consistently get us double green for Nissa, Voice of Zendikar and Brood Monitor . The manabase is a little shakey, and I may add some more taplands like Hissing Quagmire or Canopy Vista to help stabilize it. It could also easily shift to being centered on a different color (likely black) to accommodate different threats or removal, if Nissa ends up underperforming.

Also, I've been thinking that I might be running too much removal, and that adding more redundancy to the combo might be better. I've been considering cutting anywhere from just 1 spell to all of it for some number of Catacomb Sifter, Elvish Visionary, Evolutionary Leap, Pious Evangel  , From Beyond, or Sidisi, Undead Vizier. Or maybe I'm dumb and I need to add more back, idk lol. If anybody has any thoughts on that, I'd be very happy to hear them!

And of course, all feedback, critique, and suggestions of any kind are always appreciated!

Having played more events recently, including a PPTQ, made a bunch of changes to the deck. It's been running much smoother since. Still want to tune it further though.
