An under construction Simic deck I'll be fiddling with for the moment. The concept is to play very passively and help everyone draw; letting your opponents think they are getting help from you, then you can win with Laboratory Maniac. There are other methods of winning, like Psychosis Crawler. I'll incorporate more ways as a backup plan.

::UPDATE::

Through some play testing I've found some silly combos. One to note is Eternal Witness + Followed Footsteps = forever graveyard retrieval. Good cards to snag back Fog, Skyshroud Claim, Worldly Tutor, or my favorite Cyclonic Rift.

Deck thinning/mana ramping works well with Mimic Vat + Yavimaya Elder or Sakura-Tribe Elder. Don't forget to EoT these to make the most of your mana!

Don't fret with how slow this deck runs! Being EDH this deck is built for politics. Obviously the commander Edric, Spymaster of Trest, you can let your opponents battle themselves while you assemble your army with Consecrated Sphinx! Also be sure to attach Dictate of Kruphix on someone you "trust" to gain added card draws.

::WIN CONDITIONS::

By using that combo with Worldly Tutor you can effectively get the primary end-game with Biovisionary + Progenitor Mimic. Alternative ways to win with Biovisionary include: Followed Footsteps, and/or Infinite Reflection (assuming you have enough creatures on the field).

Once you've obtained an "unlimited hand" (via Tamiyo, the Moon Sage, Venser's Journal, Reliquary Tower, or Kruphix, God of Horizons) hold out on playing cards! Thanks to Jace's Archivist, he will throw tantrums and make everyone discard their deck! Please note this tactic works best with Tamiyo, the Moon Sage as she also enables you free graveyard retrieval in case you accidentally toss away/lost your Laboratory Maniac somewhere in the process.
