The idea of this deck is to play powerful draw and untap effects to exploit Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix. Akiri, Line-Slinger was chosen just to splash red and white.

First of all, this is not a casual deck. Do not play this in a casual setting if you want to be invited to subsequent matches. That said, this deck is still a work in progress, so as it stands, it's not the worst thing in the world.

I've purposely left out the beloved Laboratory Maniac because if I'm ever in the situation in which I need him, I almost certainly already have what I need to win or I have a card that will allow me to shuffle my graveyard into my library. Plus, it seems like such a cheap win con. Note that this deck has zero removal and zero counterspells (which might come as a surprise); I decided to take the approach of going full throttle because I plan on this deck winning before others can have the opportunity to get to their win cons and because loading this with counterspells and removal would slow me down to a point that I could be going against some big late game stuff. That said, this deck is only ever three or four spells at most from winning the game.

All of these cards should be considered fair—well, the lands are objectionable perhaps. I deliberately excluded Bazaar of Baghdad and Timetwister because as great as they would be in this deck, they are just a kick in the balls to a person who's already down.

The win conditions can easily be reached via draw effects and tutors. The win conditions are as follows:

Honestly, you don't even need infinite draw. There are so many cards in this deck that cause you to draw cards that you can and likely could draw through your entire deck if you wanted. For example, having just Alhammarret's Archive and Psychosis Crawler out is enough to win by the end of your turn unless you're very unlucky.

Do not be afraid to wheel yourself without being able to tap Kydele during that turn. If you don't like your hand, wheeling yourself is absolutely the correct thing to do. Forget about that one good card in your hand. If the rest of your hand can't help you, get rid of it. There are plenty of other good cards in this deck that can help you. Don't get attached to any single card. Don't even worry much about discarding too much. In this deck, there are a number of cards (e.g. Library of Leng and Time Spiral) that will make discard effects nothing to fret over.

Infinite Mana Combos

Infinite* Draw Combos

There are probably some other infinite combos in the deck but I made quite a few changes since I last enumerated them, so I only removed the ones I no longer have and updated/added two or three.

* Most of the draw combos are limited by the size of the deck. That might sound obvious at first, but some cards allow you to put your hand back into your deck before drawing.
