Finishers

Mayhem Devil

Using Mayhem Devil is the best way to close the game in this deck.

Using the Food Chain combo: 1. Generate infinite creature mana with Food Chain and Squee, the Immortal 2. Cast Squee, the Immortal 3. Cast Korvold, Fae-Cursed King, and respond to the ETB ability by exiling Korvold, Fae-Cursed King to Food Chain. This will cause you to still need to sacrifice a permanent, but you will not draw a card, thus preventing you from decking yourself. Sacrifice Squee, the Immortal to the ETB trigger, and Korvold, Fae-Cursed King will have already left the battlefield, so you will not draw. 4. Mayhem Devil will trigger off the sacrifice trigger from Korvold, Fae-Cursed King and ping an opponent for 1 damage 5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 to win

Using the Dockside Exortionist and Temur Sabertooth infinite mana combo, the treasures will trigger Mayhem Devil making infinite damage.
