Win by draw burn. Phyresis + Nekusar, the Mindrazer, Fate Unraveler or Kederekt Parasite is a quick win.

Also, spot opponent loss with Tunnel Vision and any of its combo cards, of course.

Suggestions are welcome. I know there are a lot of discard/draw spells that I'm missing. Just please talk about cards I could cut if you're suggesting that I add something.
