Note: this list requires further testing.

This is a Naya stax deck that aims to win the game by casting Yisan, the Wanderer Bard, with Samut, Voice of Dissent and some mana dorks already on the battlefield, in order to assemble a Kiki combo. To achieve this, we want to get to a moment in the game in which we can play Yisan and activate him right away, getting Copperhorn Scout as our first creature in the verse chain. Afterwards, we'll proceed to our combat phase, attack with the Scout, untap everything and activate Yisan once more. Our next creature in the verse chain would be Seeker of Skybreak, then Village Bell-Ringer, Purphoros, God of the Forge (or Jeska, Warrior Adept) and finally, we'll get Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker. We're still in the combat phase and have already declared our attackers, so the infinite copies that we'll make with the Kiki Bellringer combo won't be able to attack, but thanks to Purphoros, we'll be able to deal all the damage needed to kill our opponents and win the game. All this is made possible thanks to Samut being both, a haste enabler and an untapper.

Althought the Yisan plan requires a developed boardstate, as well as some spare mana, there are other ways to assemble the Kiki combo via Birthing Pod and Survival of the Fittest. However, since we don't have many tutors for the artifact nor the enchantment, I decided to make Yisan the primary avenue to win. That's why most of our tutors can either search for Yisan at instant speed or put him directely onto the battlefield. Finally, keep in mind that some boardstates that facilitate the start and success of the Yisan plan are those in which we have a Bloom Tender that taps for , a Priest of Titania with enough elves, or simply a Joraga Treespeaker with some other dorks.
