Attempt 4 of the build

The dream: Turn one Relic of Progenitus

Turn two Mind Stone

Turn three Lightning Greaves and Spirit of the Labyrinth

Turn 4 Zur the Enchanter attach boots and swing tutoring up Induced Amnesia Their hand gets exiled and they presumably draw one card.

Turn 5 swing and tutor Master of Feaststo finish out the game or Detention Sphere pick up Amnesia.

Commit / Memory and Smothering Tithe provide ramp suite for chaining together Ring, Sphere, and Amnesia. Commit, as well as removal/Interaction, also can be targeted on Sphere to be Tutored back with Zur, reenabling the the chain if it gets stalled.

Spirit of the Labyrinth and Induced Amnesia makes it very hard for an opponent to have a hand as early as turn 3, which can stall the opponent enough to get down Smothering Tithe into Memory or Amnesia.

Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver Speeds up the clock on decking the opponent and can create a body to whack away at the opponents life total while they are struggling to gather resources.

Venser, Shaper Savant does work as a body, as well as a possible blink target with the chaining plan.

Venser, the Sojourner guves a flicker, can get Zur through unhampered, and with how slowed down the game can become, the Ultimate seems like a viable goal.

Kaya, Orzhov Usurper does all the right things and can win the game with her ultimate.

The side board gives a chance for the deck to shift into the aggressive spectrum with Tutorable Enchantment Creatures that hit the field and have impact.

Or can push the control side with extra Removal and interaction as well as Early and Tutorable hand disruption, board management, and Taxing elements that clear a path for pieces to come down.
