So here's the basis for the deck:

Step 1. (This is the most important step, by the way.) First, find a good hiding spot for your humanity, respect for others, and overall altruism. You can't have them to play the deck, and you don't want to lose them, cause you kinda need them later.

Step 2. Keep the first hand you have without Devastation, Spelljack, Apocalypse, or Jokulhaups in it.

Step 3. Play storage lands and store up as much mana as possible, then play morphed creatures and other spells as much as possible.

Step 4. If possible, play a land that gets you 2 mana immediately, and use your eight mana to surprise your opponents a turn earlier than expected. Play Maelstrom Wanderer, which will cascade to Devastation, Jokulhaups, or Apocalypse. If one of the MLD spells gets countered, not to worry! Your next cascade will grab another one. (If both get countered, you are pretty much in a bad spot regardless of what deck you are playing anyways.)

Step 5. If you get Spelljack, Spelljack Maelstrom Wanderer. This will let you cast him again for free this turn. Definitely some amazing added protection for the combo.

Step 6. Finally, Maelstrom Wanderer resolves, and now you should have a 7/5 hasty commander with no blockers on any opponent's field.

Step 7. Hopefully you win at this point.
