A work in progress.

I know this thing is super janky, It's supposed to be. There are better cards that could be run as the commander and would allow for different options. The deck was a challenge from my playgroup to build a deck around Aeon Engine. And of course, they requested that it be colorless only. Nothing like a good handicap to spur the creative process.

Wincons are to duplicate, and then sacrifice/replay the newly spoiled "Aeon Engine"

In a four player(+) game Aeon Engine could effectively lock out all but one opponent from the game. Splash in Mindslaver, or cycle it in and out of the graveyard to lock the last one.

Infinite colorless mana, because, who doesn't love infinite mana.

Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth (on the untap ability)

Nim Deathmantle + Myr Battlesphere + Ashnod's Altar

Nim Deathmantle + Pentavus + Krark-Clan Ironworks, either of the last two are all interchangeable pieces, however the Pentavus does require having 1 additional mana to start the cycle.

The Second set of combos also plays with Grinding Station as an alternate wincon. There are a couple of other sources of the infinite mana, but they're not quite as reliable or easy to piece together.

As a note, either the battlesphere or the pentavus are a wincon unto themselves when you go infinite. Either go wide with the pentavus or go tall with the battlesphere to steamroll and redirect the damage.
