Reddit introduced the possibility of this possible "bad" combo. I thought I'd give a shot at constructing a viable deck with it.

Fathom Mage + Horizon Chimera + Archangel of Thune = insane creatures turn 4-6. Ramp early with Elvish Mystic and Sylvan Caryatid. Play control until combo pieces show up. Once the combo goes off, protect yourself during their turn with Swan Song and swing for lethal to win. Commune with the Gods to find combo pieces and stack the graveyard for Scavenging Ooze in case the combo isn't happening as the deck functions well even without the combo. Gods Willing can be used to get through fliers or protect against removal while providing a little extra help with scry.
