This deck was originally made on a $100 budget and has slowly evolved up from that, but no Jace, the Mind Sculptor, no Timetwister, etc.

The primary wincon in this deck relies on combos.

Any of the following:Curiosity + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Ophidian Eye Mind Over Matter + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Tandem Lookout plus a method of drawing cards.

Alternatively, you can secure a win with Enter the Infinite + Omniscience or anything that gives you a huge hand size + Comet Storm + Inner Fire . If you can pull off Omniscience, the game is basically yours.

The rest of the deck is primarily composed of draw, counterspells, a bit of mana ramp, and a dash of control.
