This is a budget brew that has been ongoing for a couple years. Ever since Tormod, the Desecrator was spoiled I've tought that his ability is niche enough and powerfull enough to be able to build a powerfull synergistic deck around him on a budget. So far I haven't bought the deck so thoughts on powerlevel, consistency and how fun it seems to play with or against are much appreciated. Also fell free to ask questions and make suggestions.

The deck can be powered down by either replacing the commanders with Tasigur, the Golden Fang, rule 0 limiting the number of times you can use some of the infinite loops or removing Dreadhound and Feast of Sanity so that the infinite loops make infinite tapped zombies instead of infinite tapped zombies and infinite damage the same turn.

As for color combinations (partner) I decided on Sultai (BUG) because of affordable fast ramp, Greater Good, Sage of the Falls, Unfulfilled Desires, Titans' Nest and Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix (actually better than Thrasios, Triton Hero in this deck).

Tormod one card synergies: Undertaker, Scavenging Ooze, Bag of Holding, Tamiyo, Collector of Tales, Tortured Existence and Titans' Nest

Discard outlets for dredgers (such as Stinkweed Imp) and returners (cards like Master of Death): Diplomatic Escort, The Celestus, Attunement and Unfulfilled Desires

Infinites: Tormod or Desecrated Tomb + dredge + Sage of the Falls: Sage or Tormod etb draw and discard because of Sage. Replace the draw with dredge (removing the card from the graveyard) and discarding it. This will trigger Tormod making a zombie wich will trigger the Sage again. This will "loot" the deck while making an infite amount of zombies (since Guile will keep getting shuffled back in). Since Sage is a may you can stop, sacrifice 3 zombies to Dread Return reanimating Dreadhound and killing the table. Tormod + dredge + Greater Good is the same except you end up without cards in hand and only go up in zombies when you mill Guile. If you also have Bag of Holding and Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix it's the same but a lot more resilient (apart from Krosan Grip existing) since you also make infinite mana and end up with your library in hand. Remember that when Guile goes to the graveyard you can choose to have its shuffle trigger resolve before the exile from bag.

Staff of Domination is another one card combo with Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix so long as you manage to draw 5 cards. Remember that it's a nombo with dredge.

Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix synergies: Attunement, Unfulfilled Desires, Brainstorm and Frantic Search.
