Consultation Kess with backup storm plays This deck does not try to win fast and early, but rather play a longer and more steady game accruing value through playing spells from your GY. Early in the game ideally ramping with artifact ramp and filtering your draws with low costed cantrips to find either key cards or tutors.

Win Con's: 1) With Kess on field use Demonic Consultation To find Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, hoping it's not in the top six cards. Play Jace, then cast Consultation from GY naming another card that is not in the deck, exiling your library to win with Jace when you can't draw cards. Make sure to have interaction to protect your board.

2) Isocrhon Scepter + Dramatic reversal (with 3 nonland sources of mana) to generate infinite mana / storm count with Aetherflux Reservoir on field or a fat X cost spell to clear the table. Again, important to have interaction to prevent disruption.
