Idea I've had. Basically, you take all the group ramp possible, and ramp up your opponents. Wonderful, now that your opponents have thinned out their library, you can hit them with Consuming Aberration and Mind Grind effects way worse. X spells like the aforementioned Mind Grind and Villainous Wealth are better because you have so much mana to work with. And then you punish them for ramping with their shuffling ( Psychic Surgery , Ob Nixilis, Unshackled ) and for playing lands ( Sire of Stagnation , Polluted Bonds ). I've never actually built it cause it seems like it'll be hit hard by decks that benefit from group hug (read: all of them) but it's always been a pipe dream and that's why I have it up under Theorycrafting.
