Mizzix with an emphasis on milling (self or opponent), graveyard recursion, and buyback/storm combos. Secondary themes include copy spells, chaos, and borrowing win conditions from opposing decks. Very much uses high offense low defense strategies and has only a couple control options. Cannot protect Mizzix very well if they are getting specifically targeted. The 'maybe' board has lower-powered spells meant to make some cards more casual but fill the same purpose.

In a vacuum consistently hits a win condition by turn 7. 8-10 is more likely when against other players. Turn 4 or 5 wins are doable with cards like Seething Song , Frantic Search , and Increasing Vengeance to dig into the deck without needing much mana. Turnabout and Reality Spasm can work similarly to Frantic Search for early game ramp (without cycling of course) and get progressively cheesier as the game continues.

Some of my win strategies: - Ransack with Tunnel Vision . If targeting an opponent, follow up with Braingeyser , Stroke of Genius , or Blue Sun's Zenith . If targeting yourself, you can switch Ransack for anything Scry. Mill yourself silly then use flashback graveyard recursion to fire Mizzix's Mastery and cast the entire deck at once. Say "And the last few spells I cast are the storm ones, just in case".
- Fire up a cloning loop using Turnabout/Reality Spasm, cloning spells, and graveyard recursion (on your clone spells so you can keep targeting the untapping spells on the stack). It is possible to pull in 50 mana using fancy recursion/cloning loops; even without Seething Song or infinite loops. Mystic Speculation 30 or so times, hit a kill condition, then Brain Freeze or Grapeshot someone else.
- Add a Pyromancer's Goggles for use with cloned Turnabout or Reality Spasm to get lots of sweet, sweet cloning red mana.
- Quiet Speculation is basically a 'begin cloning/recursion loop' tutor.
- Rite of Replication on Curious Homunculus   is pretty good but really only happens via luck (there are better, more consistent strategies to aim for. If this hits the board though and you have a 1U spell with buyback in hand you can womp people rather effectively).
- Spelltwine or Talent of the Telepath an opponent's Triumph of the Hordes , clone it silly, cast Bonfire of the Damned (or Turnabout or Reality Spasm) to clear a path, swing in with Mizzix.
- Cheesy +10: Bribery an Eldrazi, or a Platinum Angel, or whatever else they were foolish enough to put into their deck. Bribery several times then Telemin Performance to hit them where it hurts.
- Cheesy +9000: There are at least 5 infinite mana combos if I ever find a copy of Reiterate , and one "infinite spells cast but no net gained mana" using Pyretic Ritual to build up a storm combo.

Maybe Swaps (for lower-powered but similar cards)
- Ransack / Tunnel Vision ==> Contingency Plan / Faithless Looting
- Cyclonic Rift ==> Devastation Tide
- Seething Song or Inner Fire ==> Mana Geyser
- Capsize ==> Mind Games
