Clone tribal deck that rewards you for copying your own toolbox of powerful creatures or stealing your opponents' best creatures. Use Riku of Two Reflections 's ability to copy your creatures, your clones, or your spells for even greater efficiency. Ramp hard early on so that you have the mana to copy big effects with Riku later on.

Panharmonicon makes all of your powerful enter the battlefield effects twice as powerful (or four times as powerful if combined with Riku). Rite of Replication on just about any of your big creatures generally ends the game. Keruga, the Macrosage is a companion, meaning that you always have access to some additional card draw if you start to fall behind later in the game.

Biovisionary serves as an alternate win condition (and the original basis for the deck). With all of the clone effects and Riku's ability, creating four copies of it isn't particularly hard.

Edit

A long time ago, I wrote a decklist called Riku the Futurist (EDH). I realized that I actually had a lot of the cards for it, so I decided to finish building a new version of it. The starting premise is to use Clone style creatures and Cackling Counterpart style spells to get four copies of Biovisionary into play.

I didn't want to make the entire deck based around hitting the Biovisionary alternate win condition, so I decided to fill the rest of the deck with as many good, non-legendary creatures with "enters the battlefield" utility effects as I could. AEthersnipe and Hoverguard Sweepers bounce creatures. Dungeon Geists, Frost Titan, and Icefall Regent tap creatures down. Acidic Slime, Terastodon, and Bane of Progress nuke artifacts and enchantments. Eternal Witness and Artisan of Kozilek get your stuff back from the graveyard. Molten Primordial and Zealous Conscripts steal creatures from your opponents. Mystic Snake counters spells.

Cards like Deadeye Navigator, Cackling Counterpart, and Fated Infatuation let you trigger those ETB effects at instant speed. Rite of Replication and Tempt with Reflections allows you to potentially trigger them multiple times. Bounce spells like AEther Tradewinds, Curfew, Peel from Reality, and Rite of Undoing let you bounce your creatures and your opponents creatures simultaneously, slowing their tempo and letting you re-trigger enters the battlefield effects (or change the target of your clones).

The rest of the creatures included have more consistent effects, mostly triggering on upkeep. Charmbreaker Devils lets you recover your bounce and copy spells. Dominus of Fealty lets you steal permanents. Magmatic Force deals damage. Tidal Force taps creatures. Soul of the Harvest lets you draw cards when you cast creatures. Thunderbreak Regent deals damage when your creatures are targetted by spells (I am really excited to Rite of Replication this guy).

Finally, there are several creatures that just get big. Managorger Hydra, Forgotten Ancient, and Taurean Mauler all keep piling on counters in a multiplayer game. Quicksilver Gargantuan gives you a way to help protect something little like Biovisionary.
