Sage of the Falls + The Locust God = draw your entire deck, then you just need a spell that finishes everyone off. luckily for you, there is one such card and it only costs 1 mana so you can win the turn after you get The Locust God out. Firestorm kills the table once you've drawn enough cards. you don't need to draw your whole deck. just enough cards to kill everyone, but if they counter it, you die, because you will keep drawing til you deck yourself. To add to the conversation about Niv-Mizzet, Parun he is a great backup wincon. Enchant him with Curiosity or Ophidian Eye, tap him to deal 1 damage and he pings everyone for the amount of cards in your library. and its a may ability, so you don't have to. I turn my locust god deck into a combo deck because as I was playing the deck as a more tribal themed locust deck, I accidentally ran into combos that were very effective so I just rebuilt it into a combo deck. 2 more cards to consider, once your play group realizes that you need your commander out to pull off the combos I just explained is to add Thassa's Oracle and Paradigm Shift to the deck as an extra wincon that doesn't require your commander. what you do is this: cast Thassa's Oracle, then, holing priority after the table has said it resolves, you then cast Paradigm Shift. if they opt to counter Paradigm Shift, nothing happens, If they instead counter Thassa's Oracle, you die, just be aware of this. if Thassa's Oracle resolves you have either won the game or nothing happens, they cannot use a kill spell in response to Paradigm Shift because Thassa's Oracle's ability goes on the stack regardless if she dies or not. you can win as early as turn 2 with this combo, but you need Sol Ring and Lotus Petal in your opening hand as well as Thassa's Oracle, Paradigm Shift and 2 islands, the last card can be a swansong or arcane denial. turn 1: island, play sol ring, turn 2: Island, play lotus petal, crack it for a blue, you now have 3 blue and 2 colorless: cast thassa's oracle, cast paradigm shift and win. you even have mana left over to counter their counterspell if there was one.
