A few ideas bouncing around for this deck, so suggestions and comments are appreciated. The idea was initially Sundial of the Infinite with Final Fortune imprinted on Isochron Scepter for an infinite turn combo. I then extended it to have Angel's Grace which would also save you from Final Fortune's "lose the game". Next I thought as a win con I'd use things like Blistering Firecat because Sundial of the Infinite lets me keep them beyond a single turn. Finally the Pact Cards (e.g. Pact of the Titan ) work well with Angel's Grace.

Other parts of the deck like Gitaxian Probe and Ideas Unbound are for card advantage, with Ideas Unbound being pretty good if Sundial of the Infinite is out. Finally, Ornithopter and Culling the Weak were meant to be mana ramp but I'm unsure about how I feel about them now.

Note some cards are in the maybeboard because of their price (I'm looking at you Pact of Negation).
