With this deck a person can have infinite life, damage, mana, tokens, draw, and or mill. All of these providing an easy win condition. How this combo is set off is by the cards as follows
Aphetto Alchemist + Illusionist's Bracers
= infinite untapping and tapping of Aphetto Alchemist and any other artifact or creature. The point of that combo is by using the Aphetto Alchemist + Illusionist's Bracers + the cards that follow can produce the six ifinite combos of this deck:

+

+
Illusionist's Bracers

Some of the other cards in this deck's point is to stall the game until you can get the infinite combo or to draw attention away from the infinite combo until you can get it out. For example, this deck runs two of each of the following Counterspell,
Redirect
,
Render Silent
. With those cards you can stop an opponent from putting out their win condition, stop a spell that would mean game over for you, or even better
Redirect
a big instant or sorcery winning the game for yourself. This deck also runs one board clear, Cyclonic Rift. I know, I know, running one board clear in a blue white control deck isn't a smart move, but I don't know any better ones that don't get rid of your infinite-combo creatures as well. Other cards that help you stall or just muck up matters for the opponent are Angelic Arbiter, Daxos of Meletis,
Crystallization
,
Sleep
, Narset Transcendent,
Absolute Grace
,
Absolute Law
, Hallowed Moonlight, Jace, Unraveler of Secrets and Grand Abolisher as well as the four walls. There are also cards that help you to get out the combo as well as find the cards you need which are Rhystic Study, Epiphany at the Drownyard, Mind Spring,
Distant Memories
, Steelshaper's Gift, Narset Transcendent, and
Archivist
.
To sum up this huge paragraph, what this deck does is stall and help you get out your infinite-combo
If you have any recommendations for this deck such as control that can be added, or other cards that would help get a combo out just say so in the comments. Thanks!!
