Note: Rebuilt the whole thing, thanks to those who gave suggestions.

Plan A, Pretend to be twins: Buried Alive -> Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Zealous Conscripts, Balthor the Defiled. Cage or reanimate Balthor the Defiled, sac and return the other 2 for infinite creatures.

Plan B, Pretend to be a grumpy old man: Mairsil, the Pretender Caging Mirror-Mad Phantasm mills your entire library. Normal Dread Return things. Reanimate Laboratory Maniac and draw a card. Plan Bb, Get Laboratory Maniac on the board and Tainted Pact your library away. *Alternate if someone is leaving a plains untapped and is grinning at you. Reanimate Necrotic Ooze using Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker's ability to have Necrotic Ooze copy itself. Once you have more copies than your opponents have life, use Mogg Fanatic's ability to sac each Necrotic Ooze pinging your opponents to death.

Plan C, Pretend to be the apocalypse: Intuition -> AEtherling, Nevinyrral's Disk, Memnarch caged in that order. Wipe the board and then begin taking out their lands as well.

Plan F (for Fun), Pretend to be a rock: Mairsil, the Pretender caging Quicksilver Elemental + Pili-Pala + and any artifact that taps for 3 or more is infinite mana of any color(and even more colorless).Tap for 3, use 2 for Pili-Pala's ability producing U. Use the U to activate Quicksilver Elemental's ability. Repeat. The second time you use Quicksilver Elemental's ability, it gives you 2 copies of Pili-Pala's ability allowing you to produce an extra colored mana. The next time you get 4 copies with 3 extra colored mana. And so on up the curve. It is difficult to assemble all of these pieces with a group that knows Mairsil, so I would only recommend this for fun or for hard mode after you have won some games.
