This dock focusses on one thing and one thing only. Mill all your opponents in as few turns as possible.

The main combo you want to aim for is having Bruvac on the field and casting a kicked Maddening Cacophony to instantly mill the entire decks of all your opponents. In theory you can just end your turn after that, and win by default. In practice, people will read the card and respond with some form of a counter. Either through a well timed counterspell, pongify or pongify type of card like generous gift. In order to make sure it resolves, the deck has plenty of counterspell cards available, most of which can be cast without paying any mana. To suppliment this strategy, cards like Terisian Mindbreaker and Fleet Swallower, aswell as the spell Traumatize and Cut your Losses can also remove opponents from the game without any issue, as long as you have Bruvac on the field. If any of your spells get countered and is in the graveyard. Archaeomancer is the main way you can recycle your cards.

Zelix, sanity Flayer makes for a great alternate wincon. For every creature milled he creates a 1/1 Horror token. Though these tokens are not powerfull, with the amount of cards that you can mill with this deck they will become numerous. We can't make our tokens big, but we can certainly pump out an army of them.

If anyone has any suggestions feel free to let me know :) I will try to read and respond to the comments as much as I can.
