Welcome to The Mana Pool. This is a good midrange way to kill your friends while making them think that the game is even: the perfect way to win EDH.

This deck has maaany win cons, but the main concept that most of them hinge on is card draw. Let's walk through our win cons:

Damage by Creatures. The best way to achieve this is by getting a Heroe's Bane or Primordial Hydra big (preferably by dropping it early) and then swinging in unblockable with Thassa.

Damage by Spell. The easiest win con. Hoard mana with Kruphix, God of Horizons, and then Hurricane the board for lethal. If you've been taking a little damage, recoup some of your life points prior to casting Hurricane with Bow of Nylea and/or Ivory Tower.

Life Drain. Have Psychosis Crawler out and then just keep drawing cards as the deck will do. For the quick life drain kill, cast Enter the Infinite or Braingeyser.

Mill. Land a Sphinx's Tutelage and then get to work drawing cards. Do it naturally with multiple draw spells or do it all in one fell swoop by hoarding mana into one big Braingeyser or just cast Enter the Infinite.

Just Win. You can also just go the classic Labratory Maniac route. The easiest way to get here is by having him out and casting Enter the Infinite, but it can also happen naturally if the game goes long enough.

Many quick win cons rely on Enter the Infinite. If you need to slow the game down to give yourself time to get there, drop a Silent Arbiter and then protect him with a Neurok Stealthsuit. Overall though, have fun beating on your friends andd killing them with a different win con in every match.
