The decks main goal is to resolve Flash + Protean Hulk this can be done as early as turn two, given the amount of resources in hand, and available tutors. If this is not a possibility then playing Derevi to try and produce infinite mana. Hopefully this will allow us to resolve more spells and overwhelm our opponent until we can go off. Derevi is a fundamental part of our alternate win conditions, because of the commanders ability to tap and untap, as well as evade commander tax and be cast repeatedly for the same cost.

Primary Win Condition:

Resolve Flash Hulk: This is our main win condition. The earlier we can do this the better. First off to resolve the combo we must have 2 available mana 2, totally doable turn 1 or 2. This win condition is achieved by Flash and Protean Hulk letting us find creatures whose combined mana cost equals 6. We can then search for Karmic Guide and Sidisi's Faithful, (Karmic Guide brings back Protean Hulk, and Sidisi's Faithful exploits Protean Hulk killing it and returning it self to your hand). The second Protean hulk trigger gives us Gigantoplasm and Saffi Ericsdotter. Gigantoplasm enters as a copy of Karmic Guide, and Saffi names Gigantoplasm. Gigantoplasm returns Protean Hulk, then uses its X ability for 0 killing itself this triggers Saffi which is then sacrificed to bring back Gigantoplasm which enters as a copy of protean hulk, then uses its X ability again to kill it self getting us our 3rd Protean hulk trigger searching for Reveillark and Phyrexian Dreadnought. The Dreadnought will kill itself, the Protean Hulk and the Reveillark, (Protean Hulk with tutor for Hapless Researcher, Laboratory Maniac and Grand Abolisher) returning Saffi and Gigantoplasm, Saffi targets Gigantoplasm, Gigantoplasm targets Karmic Guide bring back Reveillark Gigantoplasm can clone Reveillark via Saffi and looping with Hapless researcher allowing us to win with Laboratory Maniac.

Produce Infinite Mana: You can use Deadeye Navigator and Peregrine Drake to make infinite mana of any colour. Infinite Green and White mana can be made with Deadeye, Bloom Tender and Deadeye Navigator. The mana can be used to be pumped back into Deadeye, which can blink a variety of creatures such as Manic Scribe to mill out our opponents. Typically looping ETB's can win the game in different ways using different card combinations.
