Meren combo deck that primarily abuses Melira, Sylvok Outcast to win via infinite combo.

Melira, Sylvok Outcast + Lesser Masticore + Disciple of the Vault + sac outlet

is the main win condition in the deck and it requires these cards on the battlefield so when you sacrifice the Lesser Masticore 2 triggers will go on the stack; there will be a persist trigger from Lesser Masticore (to return it to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it) and there will be a ping trigger from the Disciple of the Vault (that triggers because Lesser Masticore is an artifact going to the graveyard from the battlefield). The triggers then resolve and you will have pinged one of your opponents for 1 damage and Lesser Masticore will be back on the battlefield without a -1/-1 counter on it due to Melira, Sylvok Outcast preventing it. This is the infinite loop.
