A golgari storm brew that wins with Aetherflux Reservoir (backup is Tendrils of Agony). The idea is to freecast 0-cmc X creatures that you constantly recur from the graveyard to build up a storm count, after which YOU WIN. The commander is Old Stickfingers, as he makes it really easy to get your creatures initially into the graveyard. On the flipside, you cannot rely on any non-0 cmc creatures without running into problems. The deck is very vulnerable to graveyard hate, but otherwise consistently wins around turns 9-10.

The general gameplan (assuming no need to cast boardwipes, targeted removal, etc) is as follows:

1. Ramp as hard as you can until turns 6-7
2. Cast Old Stickfingers for X as much as possible (10 max) to get your 0-cmc creatures into the graveyard
3. Make sure you have one of each: wincon, creature recursion, creature draw when cast/enter
4. Time to start storming off! Recur creatures, cast them for free, drawing new cards, recur them again, until you built up enough storm to either zap the table with Aetherflux Reservoir, or drain them with Tendrils of Agony (which you may need to cast twice using regrowth-style cards)

These cards are essential to winning the game:

• Aetherflux Reservoir/Tendrils of Agony: your main wincons (Tendrils will require a higher storm count, likely around 30-40)
• Glimpse of Nature/Guardian Project/Null Profusion/Zendikar Resurgent: these cards allow you to keep drawing into gas and increasing your storm count when free-casting the 0-cmc creatures
• Forever Young, Reaping the Graves, Empty the Catacombs, Gravepurge: recurs creatures from the graveyard for recasting

These cards, while not the wincon itself, are key to executing your gameplan:

• Destruction+mana cards: Blood Money and Culling Ritual
• Mass card draw based on power/toughness: Life's Legacy, Momentous Fall, Return of the Wildspeaker, and Lifestream's Blessing. Three of these are at instant speed, so you can refill your hand at the right moment
• Regrowth cards: Regrowth, Treasured Find, Dryad's Revival, Once and Future. Doubling up on the right effect is crucial for winning (sometimes even doubling up on ramp early game)
• Graveyard reshuffling cards: Blessed Respite and Repopulate. Graveyard hate completely destroys the deck, so "protecting" your creatures is essential.
• Early Harvest untaps basic lands for only {1}{G}{G}. Combine this with regrowth-effects to increase your mana (and storm count)
• And of course, the various tutors in the deck
