Mishra Stax deck built on Possibility Storm + Arcane Laboratory combo.

Gameplan

Slow down the game with stax effects while:

• Play Arcane Laboratory + Possibility Storm
• Play Mishra from the command zone, bypassing Possibility Storm
• Be the only one playing spells

Wincons

Once the lock is established we wait to draw one of our win cons:

1. Aether Vial/Mycosynth Lattice + Laboratory Maniac
2. Grim Monolith/Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth + Walking Ballista

Wincons here have to be able to win under the lock, meaning they must be made of artifacts that can be put onto the battlefield via Mishra and they can't require casting more than one spell each turn due to Arcane Laboratory. Aether Vial and Mycosynth Lattice allow us to add non-artifact permanents such as Laboratory Maniac.

We also have some wincons that let us win outside of the lock:

1. Laboratory Maniac + Tainted Pact
2. Infinite Mana + Exsanguinate
