This is a Wish based Turboland deck.

The general plan is to mana screw.

You are looking for Strip/Waste Effect + Crucible Effect.

You would like to have Fastbond or a Null Rod Effect as well.

Karn is a Null Rod effect and gets Crucible if needed so it doubles up. Living Wish can get Waste, Ghost Quarter or Ramunap or even Ouphe if you want a Null Rod. Wargate can get anything, but two main targets are Fastbond and Strip Mine.

Once you have a Ghost Quarter lock, then Livinia Lodestone become good.

The plan A for winning is to use Nomad Stadium to gain infinite life.

Use Petrified Field + Bazaar to draw most of your deck.

Strip Lock + Rod on your opponent.

Play Livinia and Golem.

At this point they are locked out, so deck them with Cephalid Colliseum.

The Dark Depths + Thespian's Stage combo is the backup plan.

I am not sure about main deck Dark Depths. I might drop it in favor of maindeck Livinia (and still keep the Livining and Depths in the board)

Plan C is to just beat down for the win while messing with opponent's mana. Lodestone Golem is a decent beatstick on his own and Trygon Predator is surprisingly good since it both removes artifact mana and stuff like Oath.

Single Card discussion: Fetchlands: Especially good since you can replay them with Crucible effects. Double Lands: Can be fetched with the fetch lands. Green is most important color to for Sylvan Scrying and Living Wish.

Black Lotus + Moxes + Sol Ring: All broken cards.

Strip Mine + Wasteland + Ghost Quarter: With a lot of decks running 0, 1 and 2 basics the strip lock is very easy to pull off. Excellent against Dredge and Shops.

Cephalid Coliseum: Primary win condition. Draw 3 discard 3 is great with a Crucible out.

Nomad Stadium: Part of infinite life combo which many decks just can't deal with.

Thespian's Stage: Can recur more Strip effects or once you have your combo you can put all your lands in your hand to discard to either Coliseum or Bazaar to draw your whole deck. Also combos with Dark Depths.

Bazaar of Baghdad:Gets threshold for the combo. Drawing 2 and discarding 3 is decent with a Crucible out. This card is here because I end up tutoring for it a decent amount, but it is inconsistent.

Dark Depths: Highly suspect in the main. Even in turboland paying 30 for Merit Lage is not worth it. This is basically here to just combo with Thespian's Stage.

Crucible of Worlds + Ramunap Excavator: We love our strip lock

Sylvan Scrying: Mostly finds Strip Mine. Can complete Stage/Depths combo or if you have Fastbond get a combo piece or just get Bazaar if you want to draw stuff faster.

Living Wish: Wasteland or Ghost Quarter is a very common target. Trygon Predator is common. Late game getting Lodestone Golem can be good. Can complete Thespian/Depths combo. Bojuka Bog is good against Dredge. Glacial Chasm can randomly save you against aggro decks. Can get Ramunap if you want a Crucible effect or Ouphe if you want a Rod effect. Lavinia or Lodestone can create a lock.

Karn the Great Creator: One sided Null Rod that tutors up Crucible if you need it. When I have Crucible I usually get Lodestone. Lodestone + Karn + strip locks is pretty much a lock. Crypt or Cage are good against Dredge. Sometimes you are about to lose Karn to the combat step but badly want the rod effect in which case I get Null Rod.

Wargate: Awesome for finding Fastbond in a way that dodges Mental Misstep. Can also find Strip Mine.

Ancestral Recall: Broken even if it gets countered by Misstep a lot.

Time Walk: Really good in a strip lock deck.

Brainstorm: Almost as good as Ancestral when Strip Locking.
