What IS this deck?

The main engine is Emergency Powers + Smothering Tithe . When I play Emergency Powers I should get roughly 7 treasures for each Smothering Tithe (and even better in multiplayer). This combo provides three key benefits for this deck – insane mana, a free high-cost permanent that can’t be countered, and a whole bunch of artifacts. There are a lot of tools in the deck to take advantage of this:

Banefire

Mass Manipulation

Captive Audience

Carnage Tyrant

The Immortal Sun

And the big one

The Antiquities War

… and I’m open to even more ideas. I don’t want Revel in Riches because “I win” cards are frowned upon in my game group.

Absorb for life gain/control, Gaea's Blessing for mill protection if I can’t find Emergency Powers, Cry of the Carnarium helps against creature swarm so they don’t get them back from Emergency Powers.

It runs the gate shell because when you have 4 or more colors you might as well have some of the best card draw and the best sweepers available.
