Out-attrition your opponent through the magic of Doom Foretold or cheat out a turn three Rottenmouth Viper, or do both at your leisure. This deck has lots of little synergies that don't become apparent until you actually try it, such as it being surprisingly easy to turn a Carrot Cake token into a legitimate threat with Obsessive Pursuit, or how many of your spells can incidentally gain life on the off chance Treacherous Blessing or Obsessive Pursuit have you running low. There are a lot of scrying triggers that synergize with how the deck draws cards, such as sacrificing a Hopeless Nightmare on your upkeep to a Doom Foretold or saccing it to a God-Eternal Bontu trigger before drawing off said trigger. (Speaking of Bontu, she might seem like an odd pick but she is a resilient backup finisher that also is good at converting the random little permanents the deck accumulates into card draw. If I was willing to sell a kidney to get some Sheoldreds I'd run them instead, but what can you do really shrug emoji.)

This is probably not the ideal mix of cards for this strategy, as I'm sure there's a more optimal collection better suited for whatever the current Pioneer meta is. However, i haven't played Pioneer in a few years so I'm operating in blissful ignorance here and loving it.
