- Mana Rituals that produce any color of mana risk an infinite if combined with anything that can recur the ritual the same turn.
- No Kodama of the East Tree because it goes infinite with bounce land + Field of the Dead.

Herbs:
Anti Mill:
1x Screaming Swarm (DBL)
Lifegain:
1x Crypt Incursion (LTC)
1x Exsanguinate (CMM)
1x Platinum Angel (BRR)
Graveyard Hate:
1x Bojuka Bog (DSC)
1x Primal Command (OTP)


Life from the Loam engine:
Life from the Loam + cycle Land -> Mill 3 cards at instant speed with buyback.
- This can be used to fill my grave.
- Later I can use Primal Command to refresh my deck.
- Filling my grave gives me access to From the Catacombs, Timeless Witness, and targets for Reanimate or Regrowth
- Life from the Loam can also be used as a Crucible of Worlds.

Crucible of Worlds engine:
- Glacial Chasm + extra land drop + Crucible of Worlds -> I take no damage
- Field of the Dead + fetchland + Crucible of Worlds -> Go wide with zombies
- Avenger of Zendikar + fetchland + Crucible of Worlds -> Go wide & tall with plants
- Strands of Night + swamp + Crucible of Worlds -> Reanimate budget

Sidisi Undead Vizier + Ever After engine:
- Ever After -> Reanimate + (Reanimate a tutor that tutors for Ever After and returns to the grave) -> Reanimate with buyback
  - Sidisi Undead Vizier exploits itself to tutor and return to the graveyard.
  - Timeless Witness + Yarok could recur a tutor and a way to kill the Timeless Witness.

Sidisi Undead Vizier + Season's Past engine:
- Season's Past -> Regrow a card + (Regrow a tutor that tutors for Season's Past and returns to the grave) -> Regrow a card with buyback



Disappointments:
Coiling Rebirth
# It only does the nice thing for non legendary creatures. That means 2/3rds of the time it is just reanimate.
# On the other hand it does Gift a card.
Platinum Angel
# Can't lose at instant speed is a neat trick. However it does not really protect/regain my life
Valley Floodcaller
# 22 "spells" are creatures, 9 are instants, and 2 more are nonmana lands. Of the remaining 27 how many want to be instant speed?
- Journey to Eternity, Pernicious Deed, Strands of Night, ~16 sorceries.
# I might be better off with a Leyline of Anticipation instead

Kill your Darlings:
1x Flotsam / Jetsam
# Jetsam lets me cast 3N mana cards from graves for merely 6 mana. Surely it can find me wincon potential if used enough times. Right?
1x Incarnation Technique
# Pro: Has Demonstrate and Mills 10 cards. Con: Mills 10 cards and has Demonstrate. The mill makes it harder to make sustainable. The Demonstrate might have drawbacks.
Final Parting
# Tutors for 2 cards but one into the grave. (Ever After + Sidisi), (X + Life from the Loam), ...
Nylea's Intervention
# 4-5 mana tutor 2-3 scary lands to hand. Does my hand have space or should I rely on Hour of Promise instead?
