Landless (Almost) Dredge in commander!

This deck functions in a similar way to it's legacy big brother, but it's obviously a lot more clunky. It aims to win games with either Laboratory Maniac , Goblin Charbelcher , or Necrotic Ooze .

Ramos

Ramos, Dragon Engine is our commander in this deck. I picked Ramos because of his ease of casting, only requiring to cast, he is 5 colors, and he can potentially give us some mana back, he definitely isn't pivotal, and you probably won't even need to cast him.

How it works:

  1. Dump your library into the graveyard

  2. Recur the free dudes like Narcomoeba , Prized Amalgam , Nether Shadow and Ichorid

  3. Assemble one of the combos

  4. Profit?

Playing the Deck

When we mulligan we are going to be fishing hard for a turn 1 mana source, some mill, and a mana dork. However, easy mill trumps all, as we can operate, all be it poorly on no mana whatsoever.
So our main plan is dump our deck into the yard as fast as you can. However we can't do so without a bit of protection or good draws, we need a bit of mana, spy or hermit druid.If we aren't lucky enough to get some good draws on mana then we want to fish for some protection like Bridge from Below which can double as an impromptu Win-Con, by creating some big bad zombie tokens for us to sacrifice, to chump block, or even to swing with. Hokori, Dust Drinker slows every one but you down to a grinding halt, Hokori also has the upside of being easily recurred.
Milling yourself will start out pretty slow, but the longer you dig, the faster it becomes. The Major Millers™ are the usual suspects, Stinkweed Imp , Golgari Grave-Troll and other dredge spells, we also have some Turbo Millers™ Balustrade Spy and Hermit Druid chew through the deck like no other. In order to quickly dredge we use the helpful hands of Phantasmagorian as well as Squee, Goblin Nabob to speed up the process.
Now this deck is extraordinarily fragile just like the legacy deck, falling to a good exile or a Rest in Peace like effect. The deck can win in a multitude of ways, such as getting out an early Zo-Zu the Punisher to chip everyone's health down then casting or cheating out Flayer of the Hatebound and just getting a ton of value that way. There are then obviously the Win-Cons the deck was made around, which I will go into detail about next.

The Win-Cons and How They Work

This combo is what I like to call NecroTreb, it utilizes Necrotic Ooze on the field + a mana dork that taps for or more + Quillspike + Devoted Druid + Brimstone Trebuchet all in the graveyard. Tap Ooze for Mana, untap him and put a -1/-1 counter, then tap him again but this time do damage with trebuchet's ability, then untap him again and put a -1/-1 counter, then repeat to infinitely ping everyone down.
Goblin Charbelcher is the most straight forward of the Win-Cons as it literally is a tactical nuke for one person. Unfortunately, you have to wait another turn to do it again. However, this does allow you to fix your draws.
Easily the most beloved card in the deck, the win is a bit less efficient than Charbelcher but it's still very straight forward. Empty your deck with Hermit Druid or Balustrade Spy then Laboratory Maniac and draw two cards (or 1 if you already have Blightsteel Colossus in hand or on the field.
