Barren Glory
Enchantment
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control no permanents other than Barren Glory and have no cards in hand, you win the game.

I love Barren Glory because it mimics my all-time favorite Unglued card The Cheese Stands Alone. I have it as the Win-Con in my Super Friends build.
Vedalken Orrery would let you play that win directly before your turn.
Worldfire is another choice to add in exchange for Apocalypse.
Other options to help reduce CMC for the overall combo would be cards like Oblivion Ring, blowing up Barren Glory at a later time.
I personally think that going with the Barren Glory and Mindslaver are better with Blue splashed into the build. One, because Blue gives you more options to pop off Barren Glory on the opponents’ turn. And Mindslaver can go infinite with Academy Ruins on a single player.
A super cool Alt-Win you might consider would be Approach of the Second Sun.

With Barren Glory, how do you plan to get rid of your non-forest lands?

Worldfire + Oblivion Ring exiling either Barren Glory or Near-Death Experience is a combo I've always wanted to put in a deck, but any red damage enchantment like Sulfuric Vortex works as well.

I too run a Guff Super friends list but yours is creatureless and therefore better. You also snuck in a Barren Glory alternate win condition? Great work!

Emblems aren't permanents and therefore have no bearing on Barren Glory's trigger.
114.5. An emblem is neither a card nor a permanent. Emblem isn’t a card type.

Barren Glory is the win condition in my Super-friends deck. I just got to thinking about it and I have a question about Barren Glory triggering if there are Emblems on the table?
My removal cards are Apocalypse and Worldfire.

During your opponent's end step, right before your turn begins, cast Borne Upon a Wind (or start with Leyline of Anticipation in play). Flash-cast Barren Glory first, hold priority, and cast Apocalypse. (You do have just casually lying around, right?) Apocalypse resolves, emptying the battlefield and removing your hand. Barren Glory resolves and enters the battlefield.
As your turn starts and Barren Glory triggers on your upkeep, it checks that you control no permanents and have no hand (both true, thanks to Apocalypse). Since its conditions are met, it fully resolves and you win the game.

Apocalypse + Barren Glory + Borne Upon a Wind
There are several like it and EDHREC says it works but it doesnt make any sense to me.
