Alt-win-con players ASSEMBLE!!
Commander Deck Help forum

Im brainstorming a brew with Laboratory Maniac and Biovisionary as the main win cons. Gotta chuck Helix Pinnacle in there for good measure too.
Do you have a sick nasty alt win deck built? Post it!! What are your support cards?
I don't have a commander picked out so all options are still on the table, although currently, I'm leaning towards Damia, Sage of Stone.
Let's see those brews!
(I'm not interested in dopey wins like felidar, or the gain life lose life win. I wanna work a little harder than that.)
I have a charm based deck that runs a few odd win cons and divine intervention once I get my hands on one. I explain all the conditions pretty well in my primer but it's pretty reliant on being cromat as the commander or at least having 5 colors.

Livingham , looks like a fun deck. You actually got me thinking of changing up to 5 color. I get access to Door to Nothingness, which I see you are running. It's kinda great to be able to just shut out another player. I have a couple in my playground I'd love to be able to just take out of the game, and I've been wanting to build a Child of Alara deck anyway, and hadn't really decided on win cons with that one yet. Thanks for the comment. Just gave me some more direction. And this way if ever a new janky win gets created I can easily add it no matter the color.

If you go 5 color, gotta run the guildgate win con Maze's End. Mechanized Production is easy to slip in with other goodstuffs like Prototype Portal, Soul Foundry, and a ton of other cards that copy artifacts.
Darksteel reactor is always fun too. Azor's Elocutors is also one of those 'tick-tock win cons.
Mortal Combat may synergize well with whatever you are using to trigger lab maniac.
Im not sure if Coalition Victory is legal, but if so it seems legit.
And if you want the most epic of in-your-face wins, its gotta be Barren Glory. But good luck with that one, haha, it requires too much support I think.

For your Biovisionary, consider Rite of Replication and/or Followed Footsteps (if you haven't already.
I used to use Grand Architect + Pili-Pala and Blue Sun's Zenith for mill

I have an alternative win con in my Atraxa's super(un)friendly Stax, which is Mechanized Production. Cast on Sphere of Resistance, Thorn of Amethyst, Lodestone Golem or Tangle Wire it slows down the game so much that you easily reach the 8 needed copies to win.

Busse nice on Followed Footsteps. I forgot about that. I gotta look closer at the last few comments after work, but Winterblast I took a quick look at your deck and saw Armageddon. Gotta add that. I'm also going to run Boil, and just not run any actual islands. Haha this deck is going to be so mean.

That's the brew so far. It's a very rough draft so far, but I'm heading towards focusing in on a Biovisionary win, with a few others peppered in for good measure.

I built an EDH coin-flip tribal deck and I have a few win cons, primarily Chance Encounter + Frenetic Efreet . Alternatively I could also use Game of Chaos + Krark's Thumb to (probably) deal lethal.

If its casual then Spawnsire of Ulamog + Battle of Wits + AEtherspouts has always been hysterical. Completely unnecessary, but oh so beautiful...
