The only other win condition that fits easily in this particular deck at the moment is Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir to hard lock with puzzle box and Leo. Stax locks are a pretty viable win condition in my estimation. Its slow and and can be downright cruel, but if your playing Leo you are already are kind of a dick :-). locking people out of their hand the rest of the game is gg as long as you have a board advantage, which can be ensured with Cyclonic Rift. My friend Megalomania has an excellent staxish version that primarily wins via lockdown

I have even seen people using Tooth and Nail as a compact win condition with mike and trike and Tidespout Tyrant + Trinket Mage .
One of Leo's weaknesses is that he doesn't actually support many win conditions besides Laboratory Maniac so people often choose between Hermit Druid and Doomsday. Some like sonnet666's excellent brew use both , but his focus is getting a hand lock asap.

I feel BUG storm is strictly worse than grixis storm and slower at getting a hand lock than mana dorks and extra land per turn cards, but having Tendrils of Agony as a backup win condition is really nice. Storm builds also are great since they suppport other compact win conditions such as Candelabra of Tawnos + Capsize + High Tide and Future Sight + Helm of Awakening .

maddoxmtg: My issue for puzzle box for this deck is that it doesn't advance the purpose of this deck. This is a midrange reanimator deck so I really only want discard effects. Leo would serve only as a hatebear, who also does very bad things with wheels.
I know all too well the degeneracy of Leo. I did create this horrible brew after all Oh, I'm Sorry....Did I break your concentration? that our friend Megalomania hates, yet is drawn to. I take your ambivalance as high praise :-) Embrace the dark side brother!
Honestly for all his power Leo doesn't really do any wincondition better than he does labman. He can't exploit Food Chain like sidisi, infinite mana like tasigur, or Buried Alive like mimeoplasm. Your future sight combo would work. Honestly if you get a wheel off with leo any combo will close out the game pretty easily. I have also seen some good storm brews with him at the helm that could win via Candelabra of Tawnos + Capsize + High Tide . Leo plus Teferi's Puzzle Box and Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir is also a hard lock.
