Gameplan

Simple gameplan... With six mana available, activate the ability of any of the three hunters: Moggcatcher, Seahunter, or Skyshroud Poacher, and win the game that turn!

3 Hunters Combo

1. Drop any of the three hunters (Moggcatcher, Seahunter, or Skyshroud Poacher) to the battlefield. (Riptide Shapeshifter and Zirilan of the Claw will also work for a bit more mana).
   


2. Next turn, with {6} Mana available, tap your hunter for {3} to search your library for Morophon, the Boundless and put it on the battlefield. Select creature type Dragon for Morophon's {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} discount.
   


3. Now you cast Tiamat from the command zone for {2}. When Tiamat's triggered ability resolves, search for Reckless Barbarian, Scion of the Ur-Dragon, a 5c Niv Mizzet, Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm, and Hoarding Broodlord and put them all into your hand.
   


4. Cast Reckless Barbarian and then sac him to net an additional {R} mana from Morophon's cost reduction.
   


5. Cast Scion of the Ur-Dragon and activate its ability for {2} to transform him into Ramos, Dragon Engine. Now that you have Ramos on the battlefield, cast your 5c Niv Mizzett for free from Morophon's discount. This gives Ramos counters.
   


6. Activate Ramos' ability to add {W}{W}{U}{U}{B}{B}{R}{R}{G}{G} additional mana.
   


7. Spend the white and red mana generated by Ramos to cast Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm followed by casting Hoarding Broodlord using convoke.
   


8. Two instances of the Broodlord's ability will trigger. With Broodlord's triggered ability, search for Food Chain and Squee, the Immortal.
   


9. Cast Food Chain from exile using convoke. Then cast Squee (utilize Food Chain for more mana if needed).
   


10. Now that you have the food chain combo assembled, repeatedly cast Squee, then exile Squee, then cast again, netting infinite mana to cast creatures. When you get enough extra mana, exile and recast Tiamat, paying the Commander tax. When Tiamat's ETB triggers, Search for Shields of Velis Vel and Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund in the mix of five Dragons.
    


11. Using Morophon's discount, cast Shields of Velis Vel targeting the opponent which has the best creatures, turning them into dragons. Then cast Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund to gain control of all those creatures and give all your creatures haste.

Note: If Hoarding Broodlord is in your graveyard and not your library, include Bladewing the Risen as one of your 5 dragons. Select Hoarding Broodlord in the graveyard upon ETB.

3 Hunters Combo-"No Ramos" Variant

Use this variant if Ramos, Dragon Engine is not in your library. It's a weaker combo but puts you in a strong position.

4. Cast Reckless Barbarian and then sac him to net an additional {R} mana from Morophon's cost reduction.
5. Cast Scion of the Ur-Dragon and activate its ability for {2} to transform him into The Ur-Dragon). Now that you have the Ur Dragon on the battlefield, cast Two-Headed Hellkite for free thanks to the cost reduction from both Morophon and The Ur Dragon. You can also cast Niv-Mizzet.
6. Attack with Two-headed Hellkite to trigger the Ur Dragon's ability.
7. Select Hoarding Broodlord as the permanent to drop onto the battlefield.
