This is my version of a deck that I first heard about from Dev over at Strictly Better MTG. The idea is to get one or two Hedron Alignment into your graveyard and then exile one with Secret Salvage. At that point you just need play one of your Alignments and hope it sticks until your next upkeep. Everything else in the deck is about controlling the board and finding your pieces. Taigam's Scheming and Pieces of the Puzzle dig deep and also let you dump Alignments into your grave. Sinister Concoction, Doom Blade, and Price of Fame give you spot removal. Yahenni's Expertise provides an early game sweeper that also lets you play another Taigam's Scheming or Pieces of the Puzzle to keep digging for pieces. Negate makes sure nothing goes wrong when you're playing your last few spells. You can also use it or Sinister Concoction to dump an Alignment into your graveyard.

If you've got a couple of extra bucks, I'd improve the dual lands, add a better sweeper (like Bontu's Last Reckoning), and a maybe a better control piece (like Sinister Sabotage). You could probably improve on Price of Fame, but the surveil is another good way to dump an Alignment. A very janky deck, but it works!
