Overview:

This loop-casting anti-white deck is a beast. Probably could use some more control elements, such as an additional enchantment removal for Leyline of the Void (which shuts down the self-milling aspect), but can win with a variety of combinations that create a fun and spontaneous 'out of nowheres' win.

Beware of becoming a target immediately of novice players. This deck may seem to lose its advantage around turn 5, but then with a perfect draw of Wheel of Fortune or, better yet Enter the Infinite, it can suddenly spurn an immediate win which makes new players who don't understand the mechanic fearful.

(Note that Umbral Mantle is listed as a sideboard card. Depending on the opponent, I substitute Isochron Scepter and Dramatic Reversal for Umbral Mantle and a counterspell.)

Win Conditions:

Strong combinations to watch for while playing this deck are:

Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix + Enter the Infinite + Exsanguinate = Immediate win

5-Cards Drawn Wheel of Fortune, or Ancient Excavation + Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix + Staff of Domination = Infinite life gain, infinite colorless mana, draw your entire library

Selvala, Heart of the Wilds + Umbral Mantle + Mirror-mad Phantasm = Infinite mana of any color, draw your entire library (with Kozilek, Butcher of Truth in library)

Mana Vault + Omniscience + Paradox Engine + Purphoros, God of the Forge + Capsize + any creature = A consistent late-game combination

Mana Crypt + Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal = A classic infinite untapping combo

Leovold, Emissary of Trest + Teferi's Puzzle Box = Opponents cannot have hands

If you can draw your entire library, the game is won (naturally).

In Other News

Kydele is by-far-and-large the star of this deck, with the primary focus being to draw 5 cards in a turn and win with an infinite drawing combination, usually accomplished through Staff of Domination. It is important to protect this artifact, where in other late-game scenarios it is required to win with either Sidisi and Dredge (a painfully slow win) or a late Purphoros combo.

This deck is just fun to play, I personally enjoy looking at my hand and seeing a big play that sneaks up on other players, and have won in only 3 turns on many occasions. It takes a gambler to play; betting on a deck-wheeling maneuver to draw your combo. If you enjoy the risks, this deck is a blast. Obviously, it is a poor match for a Leovold but can fight other top decks.
