This is one of the decks I play in paper. I decided not to go the storm route, because I feel that while it's good, it's just not necessary to have good results, and chose to focus on running a couple extra wincons, instead. The wincons the deck uses are nothing unusual, and they are explained all over this site, but I will give my explanations below.

Wincons:

Ad Nauseam : While not technically a win condition, often times, as most people should know, when this card resolves, and you have a decent amount of life, you're way more often than not, going to win the game on the spot. It usually ends up being an instant-speed, 5 mana, draw 25 or more. This deck, and many other cEDH decks, are built to exploit this card, by keeping the average cmc of the deck low, so we can statistically net more cards off it.

Laboratory Maniac + Demonic Consultation + an effect that draws a card.

Various Doomsday piles (Labman specific, or otherwise). The card can also be used as a super tutor, which is something people sometimes don't think about, when playing the card.

Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal + Mana rocks netting at least 3 mana (one of which that produces colored mana preferred). Also, please note that if you have Sensei's Divining Top out, you can draw your whole deck with this combo, by holding priority after each Top activation (and not letting it fully resolve), and using the Scepter to stack as many draw triggers as you'd like.

Grim Monolith + Power Artifact for infinite colorless mana.

Notion Thief + Timetwister or Windfall usually results in a won game. If it doesn't, for whatever reason, give you a win on the spot, you should have such an insurmountable advantage, that the game should be over soon.

Staff of Domination for when you have infinite mana (usually infinite colorless mana), and want to draw your deck.

Goldfishing, while accounting for proper mulligans, the deck averages a win on turn 3.5. While goldfishing doesn't accurately represent how a deck would perform while actually sitting at the table, it can represent how fast the deck's clock can be if you are not stopped.

Let me know what you guys think.

Oh, and if you like the build, please give it an upvote.
