Endgame

Iso-Rev

This combo involves using Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal to make infinite mana/infinite storm. You can win here with Grapeshot or the infinite casts will trigger Elsha of the Infinite’s Prowess ability to make her infinitely large. You can use Rolling Earthquake and respond by using Swords to Plowshares on Elsha to make sure you aren’t killed.

Sensei’s top

Using Elsha of the Infinite and Sensei's Divining Top gives you the ability to and tap to draw a card. A mana cost reducer such as Etherium Sculptor, Cloud Key Or Helm of Awakening will let you draw your deck, create a very high storm count, and using artifacts net mana positive for your win con.
