Mardu self-mill that brings back cheap utility creatures whenever its flying commander connects, winning long games through attrition.

At the beginning of combat on your turn, Terra mills two cards and gains flying until end of turn. When she deals combat damage to a player, you can pay {2} to return a creature card with power 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped. The mill fills the graveyard with targets and the flying makes connecting fairly reliable. The deck is built from small creatures with strong enter or death triggers, so each return is worth a card or more.
In the recorded games, Plaguecrafter came back over and over to force sacrifices, Braids, Arisen Nightmare traded fodder for cards, and Karmic Guide chained into a second reanimation. Shadowborn Apostle and sacrifice outlets gave some lists an aristocrats angle. The engine was hard to kill for good and rebuilt after wipes, since the graveyard kept feeding it. Closing was the problem. Against combo it often lacked a fast finisher, and three colors without enough fixing caused stumbles. Expect a slow midrange game.
