This is one of my first EDH decks. It is a very creature-heavy deck. Many of the creatures have "enter the battlefield" effects.

One method to win is to make Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord big by intentionally allowing your creatures into the graveyard. You can use Splinterfright and Nyx Weaver to mill yourself quicker.

There is one infinite combo in the deck: mikeaus, the unhallowed + Triskelion.

There are a couple ways to pull them directly from the library.

Fierce Empath

Birthing Pod

If mikeaus, the unhallowed or Triskelion are in the graveyard, there are multiple cards which can recur them:Codex Shredder (Good for milling yourself too!), Nyx Weaver (More self mill), Sheoldred, Whispering One, Palace Siege, etc.

The recursion from Sheoldred, Whispering One, and Mimic Vat works very well with many of the creatures because of their "enter the battlefield effects."

Any suggestions, comments, advice, whatever, are all welcome and encouraged!
