I broke something —Nov. 2, 2014

This deck has been performing very well, going 3/1 worst case at local FNM's. If a local tournament ever comes up -meaning a major tournament, such as one hosted by SCG or WotC- I will most certainly be taking this deck to it.
This deck actually broke my local meta. Some players, especially U/W control players, are actually starting to sideboard cards like Stony Silence to answer this deck. I do already have a response to this, if you check out the "Maybeboard Discussions." Still, it makes me very happy to know that I revived bomberman and did it so well that it is breaking the local meta.
So aside from minor tweaks to stay one step ahead of the meta (and genius suggestions from the tappedout community) this deck is finalized. Thank you once more to the four users who were most instrumental in the construction of this deck. This is as much your achievement as it is mine.
I'm also clearing all comments at this point, to commemorate finally hitting 30 as a score, as to celebrate breaking the meta.
Happy recycling guys.

Check out the latest "Update" i added for this deck guys. It isn't an update to any of the cards in this deck, but provides some very interesting lore about this deck if you are interested in it.

Good deck! Did anyone ever suggest you Staff of Domination ? And if yes, why you decided to run the deck without it?

That's an interesting update you posted about Bomberman. I had no idea it was a thing either, your deck is the first of its kind that I have been made aware of. Congrats on your success and unbeknownst re-vampage.

However, if you are looking for a different use of Grand Architect + Pili-Pala combo, I made a deck a few months ago where I exploited the infinite mana by grinding opponents' decks with cards like Mind Grind , Mindshrieker or Duskmantle Guildmage . These combos can't be blocked by the redirection cards you cited. Here's the deck: I'll Take Your Life as Alternative Win Con.

The reason I don't run Staff of Domination is because I feel it is weak to miracles decks. One Terminus top deck and I'm back to square one. Not fun. And the draw all my deck aspect isn't super useful because I would preferably just fetch either of my either two more solid win-cons.
As for cards like Mind Grind ... I found that Blue Sun's Zenith was a better alternative, as it decks my opponent and then some, causing them to draw cards they no longer have and thus lose on the spot.
The two cards on the chopping block for removal are Path to Exile and Chalice of the Void , but for now I want to keep both as the chalice wrecks other combo and burn decks, and path can act either as removal or a mana fixer.
I'm not opposed to adding more wincons, but I struggle with trying to figure just what I might remove to add these win cons. If I remove my current wincos, I really don't change anything but how the deck wins. If I remove other cards, I am removing answers to other decks. Perhaps I need to do this, since this is a combo deck after all, but this derpy combination of combo and pillow fort seems really strong to me.
Thoughts?

I have not seen a miracles deck work in modern. you need things like Brainstorm and Sensei's Divining Top to really make them viable. don't get me wrong, they are very strong in legacy; but since the key cards are banned in modern the deck/archetype does not work.

Ehehehe well... I might just be foolish enough to take this thing to a few legacy tournaments :P. And I might have been foolish enough to have done so in the past. Maybe.
