This is a combo deck based on Hive Mind and the Future Sight Pacts.

Turn 1 -> Island + CM1 Cantrip (Serum Visions, Sleight of Hand, Gitaxian Probe) + Lotus Bloom
Turn 2 -> Steam Vents + Pentad Prism
Turn 3 -> Island + Izzet Charm or Transmute Ethereal Usher / Tolaria West or save for a Remand
Turn 4 -> Hive Mind + Pact of the Titan or Negation Pact or whatever you want cast to win :)

By turn 3-4 you need 6 mana to cast at least [[Hive Mind]. The most common way is suspending a Lotus Bloom, so with that and a land per turn in turn 4 we are going to be able to comb and win.
Another way to get enough mana is having Simian Spirit Guide and Pentad Prism.

Here are the cards:

The combo

• Hive Mind The core card. This make the opponent cast our Pacts in our turn, so they can't pay it and make us win.
• Pact of Negation Pact of cost 5 that also can help us to protect our combo.
• Pact of the Titans Just a simple Pact of 5cm wich on turn 4 sure they can't pay.
• Intervention Pact This will help us if there is a huge agro (we can pay it with Lotus Bloom or Pentad Prism)
• Slaughter Pact This can be replaced with other Pact of your choice, or sideboard it.

Cantrip Cards

• Serum Visions
• Sleight of Hand
• Gitaxian Probe

Mana Ramp

• Lotus Bloom 3 free manas on turn 4, wich is the most Win-Turn in this format.
• Simian Spirit Guide A free red mana for whatever needed: the lasting mana for Hive Mind, to pay a fail Pact of the Titan or to cast a Pentad Prism on first turn.
• Pentad Prism 2 mana of any color whenever we want for 2cm. Really nice ramp.

Usefull Spells

• Ethereal Usher Only to transmute and find our Hive Mind.
• Tolaria West Can serve as a land or a way to find a required Pact.
• Remand As we need a few turns to win, this is a great counter, and also replaces itself. However, you can change it with your favourite counter ;)
• Izzet Charm Counters the discards that can break our combo, destroy a creature accelerator or is a Faithless Looting. Perfect.
