How Bill the Pony decks play in EDH

Bill the Pony is a mono-white commander costing 3W, and its legendary creature - horse line shapes the whole deck around it. It makes tokens, so the deck wants ways to pump a wide board and to turn spare bodies into cards or damage. Sacrifice is built into the card, which pairs it with cheap recursive creatures and payoffs that trigger when something dies. The cards below are the ones Bill the Pony decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
