[Note: this version I've stopped piloting after extensive testing of both it and the Enter The Infinite variety of Rashmi. I've come to the conclusion that the Enter The Infinite version is the stronger build, primarily by way of having fewer slots dedicated to the combo. That list is here.]

My Tidespout variant on Rashmi. Draw-go control with a combo finish. The role of control in EDH has been filled by stax decks traditionally, but with the recent popularity of Tasigur control, other variants have begun emerging along draw-go lines rather than mana denial.

The actual win here is typically off of Tooth And Nail (discovered by BigLupu from the Competitive EDH discord). For those unfamiliar with the line, Tooth And Nail for its Entwine cost, get Tidespout Tyrant and Trinket Mage. Trinket mage tutors for Mana Crypt, then cast Mana Crypt, bouncing Trinket Mage, then getting either Mox Opal if you have metalcraft, or another mox artifact if you don't. Cast your mox artifact for either infinite colorless, then bounce and recast Trinket to get Opal, or infinite blue and green with Opal and Mana Crypt. Recast Trinket Mage, getting Codex Shredder to mill your opponents to death, or in some corner cases where this isn't possible (e.g. most Gitrog decks running Kozilek), get Sensei's Divining Top with Trinket Mage, bounce Trinket Mage draw a card, cast Trinket Mage to tutor for Sensei's, and repeat until you've drawn your deck. From there, Beast Within an opponent's land, then Reality Shift the resulting token, making them manifest the top card of their library. Bounce Eternal Witness with Tidespout's ability and any permanent to get both back. Repeat until they have no permanents and no cards in their deck.

Additionally, Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal is an easy infinite mana combo with enough mana rocks and mana dorks, that can draw your deck with Sensei's Diving Top and perform any of the previous combos, or kill them directly with Codex Shredder.

I've added Magus of the Future + Etherium Sculptor + Sensei's Divining Top as a combo for drawing our deck. This may stay or go depending on how it performs. Magus's ability is certainly strong in draw-go, and thanks to Trinket Mage, two thirds of the combo is always attainable through Tooth And Nail.
