As a rule, in most of my decks, I dislike winning through combat. Even more to the point, I like winning when I shouldn't be able to win (like during my opponent's turn). The obvious win here is with Laboratory Maniac but I like to surprise everyone with a flashed in Ifh-Biff Efreet (assuming my life total is higher than the rest of the table), or The Great Aurora or Apex Altisaur + Savage Order into Biorhythm

I like to think this deck is a VERY high 3, mid 4. Justification, Storm Cauldron, Confounding Conundrum, Mana Breach, and Overburden are all mana denial cards. There are SEVERAL infinite combos in this (most are 4+ pieces and are easily broken). This deck can win during other players turns, and with little to no warning (playing lands on my opponents turn is powerful, who knew?).

Some fun/obnoxious interactions:

1) Any of the trigger copiers (like Starfield Vocalist) and Confounding Conundrum or Overburden. Since I control the triggers, the ability gets copied and you have to return 2 (or more) lands to hand.

2) Ashaya, Soul of the Wild + Overburden + Roil Elemental means I have "Landfall: return target creature to owners hand".

Some superstars of the deck:

Patron of the Moon along with the 3 "landfall: add a mana" creatures, as well as the commander (and his clones) I can regularly draw out my deck the turn I play Patron.

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild... I dont know what to say about this other than "Duh!"

Springheart Nantuko this is such a fun card. The number of ridiculous combos that exist because of this card...
