Infinite mana is a very important of the deck to set up wincons. Main setups inclue, Palinchron Or Peregrine Drake + Whim of Volrath or Clockspinning Either Clockspinning OR High Tide , for infinite tapped lands to get true infinite mana with this combo, need decreased cost or lands to tap for more than the buyback spells. Cloud of Faeries + Whim of Volrath with decreased cost or increased mana tapping. Coveted Jewel + Whim of Volrath c is the best ombo for infinte draw, and even or extra mana with decreased cost, which should be drawn into or ways to draw into it. Nykthos with devotion 5 and whim is infinite mana also.

Wincons are Thassa's Oracle or Brain Freeze with simple infinite mana or casts. Treachery can be used to obtain infinite mana as well as take all creatures. Any further optimization ideas are appreciated. This deck so far seems likely turn 5 win, lucky turn 3 or 4 win.

Most important cards in a lot of scenarios: Whim of Volrath High Tide Spellseeker Coveted Jewel
