HA! Found out about this deck earlier today and now it's great. Here is my version and an explanation for my card choices for both mainboard and sideboard.

P.S. The name was based off the original version I made of this deck, which played Zombie Infestation mainboard.

The Deck

The main card of this deck is Treasure Hunt. With the absurd amount of lands in our deck, it draws large amounts of cards for only 2 mana! Then, these cards can be discarded in numerous ways to win the game. While some versions prefer Seismic Assault to finish the game, but I find that it's mana cost makes it much harder to reliably cast. Instead, I initially use Lightning Storm in the first game, before using my transformative sideboard to use Zombie Infestation in the second game.

Reliquary Tower ensures we don't discard all the cards we draw with Treasure Hunt.

Nephalia Academy protects us from targeted discard.

Faerie Conclave can be used to block or attack if we ever need it for some reason.

Tolaria West searches for any lands we need, but isn't all that great since we try to combo off on turn 3.

Boseiju, Who Shelters All protects us from counterspells, and increases our deck price by double! (Yay).

Crumbling Necropolis, evloving wilds , and Terramorphic Expanse- While some decks want fancy-shmancy shocks and fetches, these tap lands work fine because they give us all three of our colors, and we don't have any turn one plays and don't usually have any turn two plays.

Important Notes

ALWAYS mulligan a hand if you don't have Treasure Hunt- no matter how low you have to mulligan. Otherwise, you'll just draw a bunch of lands and have no way to win. If you don't get a hand with Treasure Hunt you may as well concede.

NEVER play Treasure Hunt on your second turn if you don't already have Reliquary Tower out. Wait until turn three and play Treasure Hunt before playing a land so you have a chance to find a Reliquary Tower to play.
