Tons of options for removal, tutoring out key artifacts/enchantments, drain effects and high life total win cons.

You want to get Sanguine Bond and/or Exquisite Blood on the field ASAP. Both means any drain effect wins.

You can use Felidar Sovereign and Test of Endurance to win also. You can become a fast target but that's what the synergistic removal is for.

My second favorite EDH/Commander deck so far.
