Elsha of the Infinite is a strong competitive commander, basically a better version of Future Sight in the command zone.

Mana rocks accelerate into Elsha by turn three or four.

With Elsha on the battlefield, mana rocks are used to cast more rocks/spells off the top of your library to gain an insurmountable resource advantage by turn five or six. Counterspells keep the opponent from winning in the early game and cantrips dig for game-winning combos.

Sensei's Divining Top + Helm of Awakening/Cloud Key + Elsha of the Infinite = Draw your entire library, one card at a time, at instant speed (unless your opponent can disrupt you with an instant spell or ability of their own.)

Thought Lash + Elsha of the Infinite = Instant speed win. Thought Lash has the ability "0: remove the top card of your library from the game." Assemble this combo and remove lands and unwanted spells from the top of your library, casting free mana rocks (like Lotus Petal and Lion's Eye Diamond) until Jace, Wielder of Mysteries is the top card of your library. Cast Jace, remove the rest of your library from the game with Thought Lash, and then +1 Jace to win the game. Well, you'll probably have to put a Brainstorm on the stack or something, since Jace can only be +1 at sorcery speed--but you get what I mean. Or just add Oracle and some other creatures to the deck and say suck it to the Proteus Staff combo 'cause it's janky as junk anyway.

Proteus Staff + Elsha of the Infinite: other than Elsha, this is a creatureless deck. So if you tuck Elsha with Proteus Staff you will end up with Elsha back on the battlefield and then you can stack your library in any order (game over with Elsha in play).

Mirror of Fate + Copy Artifact (or copied with Saheeli, Sublime Artificer) Having two Mirrors (or two Mirror activations) creates a better Doomsday effect. The first Mirror exiles your library, putting back zero cards. Then with the second Mirror activation, you can choose 0-7 cards from exile (but usually it's just Jace, Wielder of Mysteries) and stack them on top of your empty library in any order. Mirror is also incredibly useful if your main win condition (Jace, Wielder of Mysteries) somehow gets exiled earlier in the game (such as through a Rest in Peace).

Rest in Peace + Helm of Obedience: exile opponent's library. A dirty surprise for noobs.

Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal + assorted mana rocks: infinite mana. Well known cheddar.

Isochron Scepter + Silence/Orim's Chant: soft lock to prevent opponent from casting spells.
