Just trying to make Lich's Mastery work.

There are a handful of cards here that allow the deck to leave lich mode without dying, which should help against the inevitable Cyclonic Rift.

I think the primary wincon for this deck is self mill into a Lab Maniac. I also believe there is a way to use Aetherflux Reservoir to end the game.
