It ended up being quite a "mana rock tribal" to suit the usage of the fun cards Storage Matrix and Winter Orb.

Prime win condition is the combo Sydri+Voltaic Construct+Gilded Lotus/Prismatic Geoscope/Thran Dynamo/Basalt Monolith/Pyramid of the Pantheon which gives infinite mana and untaps to be used with either Staff of Domination/Pull from Tomorrow/Sphinx's Revelation (Draw and play my deck), Staff of Nin (Machine gun everyone to death) or Death to the Debtless (infinite leech).

Plan B is to get over 50 life and play Aetherflux Reservoir, give it lifelink and kill everyone with it.

Another alternative is just to make a lot of mana and play a big Debt to the Deathless or draw and play a large portion of my deck with aforementioned cards. I can then proceed to just beat down people with big artifacts.

The last alternative is the soft lock Nevinyrral's Disk+Darksteel Forge, possibly with untap effects like Unwinding Clock.
