Super low CMC wincon (listed below) which results in milling all your opponents in one turn.

Lots of interaction to include Circu's ability to exile cards. Competitive tables I've seen tend to play a lot of the same cards. Circu paired with Lantern of Insight is an easy way to stop opponents from using mana rocks, counters, tutors, etc. Since Painter's Servant got unbanned, use it and Grindstone to take out the most dangerous player. Painter's Servant also allows for Curci's exile trigger to always activate (when you select blue/black). This deck does not do very well at casual tables with an emphasis on creatures as it uses life heavily as a resource.

Circu + Isocronic Scepter + Dramatic Reversal + artifact(s) producing at least 2 mana = infinite mill

Cards needed for a turn 1 win: 2 lands, Mana Crypt, Mox Diamond, Isocronic Scepter, Dramatic Reversal

First competitive deck build. Let me know your thoughts!
