I Rite of Replication'd a Walking Archive the other day, and thought to myself, "Gee, it sure would be cool to make an EDH deck that draws everyone to death." This is the result.

I avoided the great draw cards like Blue Sun's Zenith, Phyrexian Arena, and Necropotence that let one player draw, in favor of cards that let or make everyone draw.

It's a good idea to start swinging with Zur the Enchanter asap. If they have no blockers, fetching a Diplomatic Immunity is essential. If they do, it will have to be Cloak of Mists or Steel of the Godhead first. Then you can get the defensive enchantments like Ghostly Prison on the field with him every turn while you, hopefully, draw the Howling Mine type cards to start the engine.

There are a few different win cons. Zur with Empyrial Armor can be a great, straightforward win. If you're the first person to run out of cards, Laboratory Maniac can seal a win. However, all the card draw plus Forced Fruition can make sure you don't go first. Underworld Dreams and Liliana's Caress can bring anyone down fast, especially if they don't have any Spellbook effects working for them. Hoofprints of the Stag isn't quite Luminarch Ascension, but it's still a power house, and since it doesn't have the hate associated with its name that Ascension does, it flies under the radar slightly better.

I considered Skirge Familiar plus Exsanguinate as an explosive win condition, but I decided against it. Combos like that put me off. Bad enough that I have Mind Over Matter in the deck, and I feel like I'd intentionally not win using that and, say, Temple Bell, so I won't win with the Skirge combo either. My meta wouldn't enjoy it.
