There's four different combos that can be used to trigger Ayara, First of Locthwain enough times to drain our opponents dry:

Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + any other zombie. Sacrificing Gravecrawler with Phyrexian Altar generates a which is exactly the amount needed to recast Gravecrawler from our graveyard. If our commander is in play, this results in lethal lifedrain!

Mortuary + Bolas's Citadel + Sac outlet = Play the same creature over and over again paying life instead of its mana cost, and triggering Ayara to drain out opponents. If the creature is 1 cmc, like Carrion Feeder , then we gain back the life from Ayara's trigger that we lose casting it via Bolas's Citadel . Meanhwile, Ayara is draining our opponents to death in this infinite loop. Bolas's Citadel can be replaced by Thornbite Staff equipped to Ayara, since she taps to sacrifice a creature to draw a card. Now she can draw the same creature infinitely, so if we have a way to generate extra mana, maybe because the creature is Priest of Gix or we have a Carnival of Souls in play and the creature only costs , we can play that creature, sacrifice it to draw a card, and Mortuary will put the sacrificed creature on top of our library so that it is the card we draw.

I need to remove Gisa And cut some non-basic lands. Any help in that regard is appreciated.
