Control the board and play table politics with on-demand spot removal from Starke.

Starke Combos/Synergies

Starke of Rath + Bazaar Trader: Activate Bazaar Trader's ability targeting Starke and yourself, retain priority, target something with starke. Starke's ability will resolve first, then Bazaar Trader will get Starke back for you.

Starke of Rath + Umbral Mantle, Staff of Domination or Sword of the Paruns : Target your own expendable or indestructible thing with Starke, retain priority, untap him, target an opponent's thing, and repeat if necessary. At the end of it, you'll get Starke back.

Starke of Rath + Puppet Strings or Magewright's Stone : Less repeatable than the above combo, but it's still good.

Starke of Rath + Rings of Brighthearth or Illusionist's Bracers: Target one of your things with Starke, then the trigger goes off requiring you to choose a target. Choose an opponent's thing, then the copied ability will resolve first and you will end up getting Starke back.

Starke of Rath + Homeward Path or Brand: Get Starke back after you kill their thing. Less of a spicy combo, but it works well enough.

Starke of Rath + Mycosynth Lattice: Now EVERYTHING is a viable target for Starke.

Win Conditions (there aren't a whole lot)

Heartless Hidetsugu works with all of the untappers that were intended for Starke, but instead of killing things he kills people. Heartless Hidetsugu is also really good with Basilisk Collar

Blightsteel Colossus can come out pretty consistently with my decks heavy artifact-ramp. Killing blockers with Starke and swinging into an open board with Blightsteel is generally hard to survive.

Scourge of Kher Ridges, Balefire Dragon, and Karn Liberated are also all pretty nice, and Darksteel Forge + Mycosynth Lattice + Nevinyrral's Disk makes them all even more consistent.
