Sadly retired this deck. Keeping the list in case I want to remake it.The idea is relatively simple-ramp to get into Momir Vig, Simic Visionary early. Play a creature, and start tutoring. Obviously what creatures I get are dependent on the situation, but I always get Prophet of Kruphix first-it's a powerhouse in this deck. I usually cast prophet and tutor for Kruphix, God of Horizons-the no maximum hand size and ability to conserve mana is huge. After this the third creature varies-if there are other blue players and I already have a counterspell in hand, Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir is usually powerful next so I can protect Prophet and Momir without worrying about my countermagic being countered. If I don't have any countermagic, I can always get Mystic Snake or Venser, Shaper Savant. If there aren't any blue players/threats, I usually go for Azami, Lady of Scrolls, who is another powerhouse in the deck. I can tap her, Momir, and Prophet end of turn to draw into 3 cards per turn (including my opponent's turns). This also allows me to cast green creatures, tutor for a creature to put on top of the library, and still draw it that turn.

From there, it's about setting up a win condition, and the creatures I grab depend on the board state. Typically I end up winning with an Avenger of Zendikar and Craterhoof Behemoth combo. I can also get a bunch of mana with Kruphix to hit a huge Genesis Wave or flash in a large Primordial Hydra before my turn to take out the biggest threat.

I have a pretty big toolbox of answers depending on the situation I can get via tutoring, from Mystic Snake to Terastodon. I run quite a bit of countermagic-protecting Momir and Prophet early is vital. Pact of Negation, Plasm Capture Spell Crumple Counterspell Voidslime Hinder and Cryptic Command are some of my favorites.

I know there are other things I could do with the deck. Momir Vig is easily an infinite combo-general, I could run Dead-eye Navigator/Palinchron for infinite mana, Lab Maniac/Enter the Infinite, Omniscience, Biovisionary/Rites of Replication (or even just clones like Progenitor Mimic) etc. etc. but those win cons really aren't my style. And the way I run the deck works just as well, I play in a reasonably competitive multiplayer league each week and it's rare that I don't come out on top when I play this deck. However, suggestions are always appreciated!!
