Protean Hulk Ideas

I am making a deck that uses {Protean Hulk} to bring out an infinite combo in a manifest deck. It works very fast and is very fun to play, but I want to find, maybe a better infinite combo.

The combo I bring out currently is:
{Viscera Seer}
{Melira, Sylvok Outcast}
{Kitchen Finks}

I'm wondering what other creature only combos are out there that deal with a total CMC of 6 or less that fits in a {W}{B}{G} (Abzan) deck.
If anyone is interested in the current decklist I can probably add it and post it under Casual.

Tough one.
Usually my combos tend to explode in extravagant things that use a load of mana, or use non-creature effects.

My mind keeps bombing me with {goblin sharpshooter} & {Onyx Mage} and {1}{B}.  {Blood Pet} Could be the last guy for the mana.
Destroy any creature. However, wrong color.

trade goblin sharpshooter for {Galvanic Juggernaut}?
But the juggernaut doesn't ping?

I'd think you'd want a win, not a board wipe. There's the {Disciple of the Vault}, {Orithopter}/{Memnite} combo.

{murderous redcap} also sees play as an alternative to {kitchen finks} in the {Melira, Sylvok outcast} {viscera seer} combo for infinite damage instead of infinite lifegain.  A bit hard to cast but that's why there's {urborg, tomb of yawgmoth}.

Don't see why you want {Varolz, the Scar Striped}.

Or any sac. outlet. Infinite life.

Even a {Viscera Seer} would do the job.

Yeah, so far the combo pieces are:
{Protean Hulk} (to get the pieces I need)
{Melira, Sylvok Outcast} (for the persist guys)
{Kitchen Finks} or {Murderous Redcap} (The redcap if I have a sac outlet on the board already)
Sac outlet (The main one being {Viscera Seer} so I can scry into a Hulk to manifest then flicker it to get a final piece I need)

I like {Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit} though. It's the same CMC as Melira and essentially does what I need Melira for, but benefits my creatures more. Sweet.

Also, yes {{Kaylesh}}. Trying to find a creature only combo that has a total CMC of 6 or less is rough. It's a lot of variables to show for a small portion of cards. I think that this works though.

The only other thing I could do for a "combo" is the, "kill Hulk, search for 4x {Hedron Crab}, 4x {Dryad Arbor}, a {Sakura-Tribe Elder}, and mill opponent for 60."

With the addition of  {Hangarback Walker},  {Endless One} there are now 5 creatures with a CMC of 0 in modern all you need is 2  {Blood Artist} and a seer

Nice catch. You can even replace the seer with any {X}{G} hydra: {mistcutter hydra} would work. 12 creatures + 2 artist = 24 drained.

I really like this one. You don't need a seer as they'll die as state based actions.
