Have you considered Plow Under?

Hi!
I'm assuming this is for standard, but is this made up of cards you have? If so, can you get more?
Also, what is your goal for this deck? Aggro? Midrange?
I can help ya out, but can you first answer these questions?

Oh okay, I see what you're trying to do here. Thanks for explaining. I can help you out here.

Elixir of Immortality isn't exactly an infinite combo, since an infinite combo needs 2 or more cards to interact with each other so that the triggers in abilities go infinite. So basically something triggers, input into output, the output then triggers the input, and so on. Shuffling a graveyard into a library isn't infinite because the output occurs <1 turns and things occur in between (there are obviously exceptions to this, btw). Infinite combos usually go infinite on one turn. Like Archangel of Thune + Horizon Chimera + Fathom Mage, netting infinite life, infinite counters, and infinite card draw.( If you already know some of this stuff, feel free to ignore me.)

I don't get what you mean by "way to shuffle my graveyard into my library as instant caused by a permanent". If you mean anti-mill cards, then Gaea's Blessing is a good one, since you can use it as card draw and since it actually auto shuffles your graveyard back into your library if it gets put in. It's good when you draw it and when you don't. Plus, you can use it to shuffle it back into your library if you have 2 or more copies.

I don't think there's infinite burn unless you put in other colors as well, e.g. (Midnight Guard + Presence of Gond, + Impact Tremors), but if you want burn, Lightning Bolt is a good place to start. Another I like is Stoke the Flames, since you can use two of your creatures to cast it as long as you have two red mana available.

Btw, artifacts (such as Elixir of Immortality) don't have summoning sickness unless they're artifact creatures or somehow become creatures( without haste) on the same turn you play them.

I love it. Maybe some tribal anthems like Door of Destinies or Hall of Triumph.
Also, what's the infinite combo you have in the deck? I can see none. Please take out that misleading tag, or add in one somehow.

Is this for Planechase? Your description is wrong here, since there are no totem armor auras in the deck. If it's not for Planechase, take out that Fractured Powerstone and exchange it for Mind Stone.
You should include more token generators, like more Dragon Fodder, Krenko's command, and/or Awakening Zone.
More creatures suited for sacrificing are good too, like Blisterpod, more Tukatongue Thallid, or Viridian Emissary. Personally I think Blisterpod is better, since you can either sacrifice the scion for mana or for devour.
Get rid of Hellion Eruption. It's too situational.
You could put in Hardened Scales for the extra counters, and try to increase the count of good devourers and decrease the ones that are bad.

Invisible Stalker for a really good ninjutsu target? Plus they can't kill it unless w/ wraths, which can become a huge problem when they're topdecking for solutions.

Totally forgot that you can thoughtseize yourself, props to you for knowing that. The deck actually seems a lot better now that you explained those 2 options.

Lol this looks really fun!
If you got a Captain Sisay, that's a really good card, since you can tutor other celebrities, as well as legendary lands. It works really well with Minamo, School at Water's Edge, since you can tutor, then untap for another one! Time of Need is also basically a Demonic Tutor for legends.

Shizo, Death's Storehouse, Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep, and possibly Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers could be good with your guys as well (maybe not so much Okina, but the first two can be deceptively powerful).

Overall the deck looks really funny and I would love to play it! Tell us how you did with it!

What happens when you draw Emrakul? Imo I would put in more Emrakuls, and maybe some See Beyonds to get it out of hand so Polymorph can hits something even if you happened to draw it. Plus, it can get rid of junk in hand.

I like the deck though! +1! :)
Have you played the deck? I would love to hear how it played if you did.

Sadly, yes. :(

Thanks for the suggestion. I considered Fog Bank at first, but I felt that Wall of Frost filled up that spot. I think I can free 2 slots for Guard Gomazoa, however.

Thanks for the suggestions. I totally forgot about Triton Tactics, since I just went full ham on the mill em out train.
I want to keep the deck in simic colors, but I recognize that Phenax would be a very strong card in the deck.

Thanks for the suggestions. I totally forgot about Preordain.
I get that I could ditch Ornithopter, but as Puschkin mentioned, I will get less out of Paradoxical Outcome. However, I could put filtering in to make the combo a lot more reliable... I think I will remove Paradoxical Outcome, some lands, and Ornithopter and replace them with filtering.

EDIT: Ornithopter is gonna stay. I got enough filtering.

Hey! Sorry for the late response. I *finally* finished my take on the deck. Please note that it is not budget. It's different from yours, because I moved away from the Gelatinous Genesis or Mill em out path and straight up went mill them out with Increasing Confusion. I also have 1-of Assault Formation in the deck for an alt win-con.

Yeah, pretty much.
While I know those are strictly better, the loss of kobolds means a loss for the lols and the title. And I also had the idea to do it with kobolds at first, so yeah...
Thanks for the suggestions though!

You could make this into an 8-rack deck. You already have 4 of them, so adding in The Rack is good too.
As DedWards said, Raven's Crime is really good.
The Shortfang isn't very good. I would replace it with The Rack, or some other discard effect. It's not that the card has a bad effect, its that it's too slow.

I agree. I would take out the Treetop villages and a couple of Lumbering Falls to replace them with Botanical Sanctum or something like that.

I love turbofog. It's so much fun to just sit back and watch as they declare attacks, but not actually deal damage.
Isochron Scepter is a really fun card with any fog effect. It also works really well with Silence.
Also, is this supposed to be modern or casual play? Ponder is banned in modern (and vintage). A good substitute (but not as good enough, sadly) is Serum Visions.

I like the deck. Actually impressed with the idea of Heartless Summoning, though I wouldn't play 4.
What's the point of River Kelpie here? Is it just for a good emerge target?

Bloom Tender doesn't give you more than 1 mana in this deck. Since it says colors, the most it can give you in here is 1 green mana. I would remove it and replace it with a Reclamation sage or another Lead the Stampede. I like the elves deck though. It's incredibly explosive and I love the playstyle :)
