Hello there!

This is one of my most competitive deck build so far.

The deck needs to ramp mana, control board, tutor what it needs to close and finally do it protected with solid counters.

Combos

• Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter + Any mana rock that produce more than 2 mana + Aetherflux Reservoir = Get infinite life and than shot everyone for infinite damage.

• Tainted Pact + Jace, Wielder of Mysteries = Win for no cards in deck.

• Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top + Jace, Wielder of Mysteries + Enough Life = Win for no cards in deck.

• Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top + Aetherflux Reservoir = Draw all your deck, get infinite life and shot anyone with infinite damage.

• Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top + Aetherflux Reservoir + Jace, Wielder of Mysteries = Just in case someone can't be targeted, or have infinite life or, i don't know, can prevent damage? Win for yourself.

Cool Mechanics

• Bolas's Citadel alone is a great card in this deck: be able to cast spells on top of deck with life, eventually getting in the graveyard to be re-used with Kess, Dissident Mage is sooo good.

• Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top , this way it gets even more funny: Draw, or cast, all your deck (using a large amount of life) or, more realistically, search for what you need on topdeck than combo off.

• Wheel of Fortune / Windfall + Notion Thief / Narset, Parter of Veils resolves in "You discard all, i draw all. +1 if i use the Thief". Not bad.

• Spellseeker and Tribute Mage Both tutor a piece of Combo ( Isochron Scepter and Dramatic Reversal ).

• Rakdos Charm I don't know why this card is never usedm you can actually:

• Get rid of any combo that start from graveyard ( Worldgorger Dragon , any card with Karador, Ghost Chieftain );
• Destroy Artifact is always good;
• Win against combo deck that uses infinite creatures, like Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker , Splinter Twin or also decks with maaany token creatures.

Well, feel free to comment and ask anything you need,

Cheers!
