Sideboard

Other (3)

• 3x Hedron Alignment

Every alternate win condition I could find (except Coalition Victory and the Hive Mind/Pacts combo), plus nonsense.

Approach of the Second Sun:

Cast it. Cast it again. Also helps for the lifegain-ier wincons. Diabolic Tutor and Mystical Tutor speed up the process. Plunge into Darkness and Demonic Consultation work handsomely.

Barren Glory :

Discard your hand to Wild Mongrel. Sacrifice all your permanents to Claws of Gix or Renounce . Alternatively, Oblivion Ring it and then Kaervek's Spite .

Battle of Wits :

Have Gilded Lotus, Zealous Conscripts, and a Deadeye Navigator stuck to the conscripts. Flicker the conscripts, targetting the lotus each time to make infinite mana. Once you have this, pair the navigator to an Eternal Witness to get infinite casts of Research/Development. Proceed to shuffle enough cards into your library that you'll win. I suggest shuffling in copies of Hedron Alignment so you can try for that, too. Or shuffling in a bunch of Battle of Wits if you haven't drawn it yet.

Celestial Convergence :

No real combo here, but feel free to use counter manipulation to keep counters on until you're ready to win. You can use Wall of Reverence, Renounce , Claws of Gix, and Swords to Plowshares to make sure you have the highest life total. Hex Parasite can yank the counters off if you're ahead.

Chance Encounter:

Frenetic Efreet 's ability can be used in response to itself an infinite number of times so you'll eventually get the counters. You can also get one chance counter on and counter manipulate it up.

Epic Struggle:

Have creatures. Rite of Replication, Mechanized Production, Starfield of Nyx, Mycoloth, and Progenitor Mimic help.

Helix Pinnacle:

Have mana. Mirari's Wake and other ramp helps. You can proliferate the counters with Atraxa, but note that Vorel of the Hull Clade can't target it.

Mayael's Aria

Have a big creature. Archetype of Endurance and Mossbridge Troll work. Don't forget to proliferate or double those +1/+1 counters.

Mechanized Production:

Have a lot of artifacts. Copying a mana rock ramps you, copying a Platinum Angel, Sun Droplet, or Norn's Annex keeps you alive.

Mortal Combat :

Mill yourself with Mirror-Mad Phantasm. Research can put more creatures into your deck.

Near-Death Experience :

Angel's Grace and Worship can keep you alive at 1. Necropotence lets you pay life until you're at one. I suggest having an Aegis of the Gods around so you don't get burned to death out of notwhere.

Test of Endurance:

See Celestial Convergence for lifegain. This is a good one to flash out with Leyline of Anticipation or Vedalken Orrery at the start of someone else's end step.

Triskaidekaphobia:

Use Rolling Thunder or Tree of Perdition to set someone's total to 13 at their upkeep.

Darksteel Reactor:

Proliferate, double counters, and don't die.

Door to Nothingness:

Have the mana for it. Leave it up for a while as a political tool, then Door someone who dares attack you. Mirari's Wake helps.

Vraska the Unseen:

Her assassin tokens have to connect. Thassa, God of the Sea can do that for you.

Azor's Elocutors:

Proliferate up their counters, don't take damage. Another good flash candidate. Winding Constrictor helps.

Biovisionary :

Rite of Replication and Progenitor Mimic. Remember that he wins on your end step.

Felidar Sovereign:

Another flash-on-the-end-step guy. Renounce , Claws of Gix, Sun Droplet, and Swords to Plowshares can help.

Hellkite Tyrant:

Have artifacts. Be warned that you better win with him fast if you don't want to be labelled an artifact stealer. See Mechanized Production, too.

Laboratory Maniac:

Deck yourself with Mirror-Mad Phantasm, Necropotence, and enchantresses. Name your favorite card not in the deck to help Demonic Consultation do it. If you have infinite mana, you can do it with Diabolic Revelation and tutor your whole deck.

Phage the Untouchable:

Use Thassa, God of the Sea to make sure she connects. Don't let someone flicker her.

Maze's End:

Have gates. Tempt with Discovery can help, and Maze's End does some of the work for you. Scapeshift can pull a win out of nowhere if you have enough lands.

Hedron Alignment :

Research them into your deck and go from there. Have one out, pitch or mill one to your graveyard, keep one, and Oblivion Ring one. If you have the infinite combo, shuffle a few hundred Hedron Alignments in. That way you're sure to draw them!
