Win conditions as of 2/21/19: Isochron Scepter × Dramatic Reversal × mana rocks × Blind Obedience = infinite mana and infinite extort triggers to drain the table.

Isochron Scepter × Silence × Paradox Engine × mana rocks = soft lock opponents from playing spells, forces them to play at instant speed if they have anything.

Lavinia, Azorius Renegade × Knowledge Pool = Hard lock, no one can cast spells but you. Just make sure the board state isn't one that you die to before you establish the lock.

Rest in Peace × Helm of Obedience = mill someone out of the game. Adding Voltaic Key allows you to deck 2 people at once with enough mana, and obviously adding Paradox Engine to the mix can kill the board in one turn if no one interrupts.

Luminarch Ascension can also be a stand alone win condition if you have established a decent staxy board state.

There are other less obvious, non-infinite win conditions and combos that the deck is capable of, but the ones listed above seem to be the most effective currently in my meta. The deck will likely continue to evolve and take on a couple of forms. I would like to experiment with Smothering Tithe × Stasis which would likely make Tezzeret the Seeker a necessity. I would also like playing around with Nexus of Fate and Teferi, Hero of Dominaria as possible win conditions post Armageddon .
