Combo

Win con
Thassa's Oracle
Empty your own library and play Thassa's Oracle.

Win con
Duskmantle Guildmage + Mindcrank
Activate Duskmantle's first ability, then activate Duskmantle's second ability. Target opponent mills 2 cards, which triggers Duskmantle's first ability, causing them to lose 2 life. The loss of life trigger's Mindcrank's ability which causes them to mill 2 cards. Repeat until your opponent is dead or out of cards.

Win con
Eater of the Dead + Phenax, God of Deception
Tap Eater using the obtained activated ability from Phenax, milling your opponent for 4 cards. If, after the mill, a creature card exists in any graveyard, activate Easter of the Dead and exile a creature card from a graveyard for Eater's activated ability to untap it. Repeat until you've milled out your opponents or run out of creature cards in graveyards to exile.

Mill one person
Fraying Sanity + Any of the following one (Traumatize or Maddening Cacophony or Fleet Swallower)
Cast Fraying Sanity, enchanting the opponent you want to mill out this turn. Cast any of the listed spells on the enchanted opponent to mill them for half their remaining library, rounded down. At the end of the next end-step, that player is left with 0 or 1 cards, depending on if they had an even or odd number of cards in their library, respectively.

Board wipe
Freed from the Real + King Macar, the Gold-Cursed + Phenax, God of Deception
Tap King Macar using Phenax's ability to mill 3. Pay to untap him killing a creature, making a gold token. Repeat.
