An unconventional Vendilion Clique deck of sorts, that does not run Tunnel Vision to zone out 1/2 players from the game. Instead, the Clique offers self targeting, to remove an unwanted card from your hand, or with an infinite flicker effect, it allows you to dig into a win condition.

Deck is also counterspell heavy, mainly there to protect your combo pieces when you do go infinite. There are a bunch of tutor effects, to dig for yet more combo pieces, more counterspells... you get the idea.

So, the combos in the deck are not great, but adequate. As of the time of writing, the deck is only 2 weeks old and built from scratch. I believe all the combos are infinite mana, so an outlet is needed:

Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron/ Great Whale = infinite mana

Grand Architect + Pili-pala = infinite mana

Palinchron + Hight Tide = infinite mana

And with the infinite mana, you can:

Capsize infinitely and lock everyone out

Blue Sun's Zenith with Laboratory Maniac on the field to win

Mind Games infinitely, tapping everything down (soft lock)

Deadeye Navigator, paired with Vendilion Clique to search for a win condition

Oh, and there's Isochron Scepter, Mystical Tutor and Nexus of Fate for infinite turns

There are lots to acquire, but Tunnel Vision is not one of them.
