Creature-less EDH deck built around the card Proteus Staff. Not meant to be super competitive, but can win fast with no interaction.

How it works:

You activate Proteus Staff's ability targeting whatever creature you want on the board, lets say The Locust God. Then you flip cards over until you reveal a creature, which, coincidentally enough, is The Locust God we just put on the bottom. Then you put the cards revealed (your whole deck) on the bottom of your library in any order. TL;DR, Staff a creature, stack your deck.

Aiming for a power level of 5 or 6, mainly meant to have fun. But sometimes it just goes off turn 4 or 5 with great hands, turn 6 consistently with no interaction.

I have a more competitive version of the deck, where I just swap out a better land base, add tutors, and make the combos more consistent overall/ remove the combos that are just in there for fun. I may post it eventually.

Combos:

Future Sight + Helm of Awakening + Sensei's Divining Top = Draw your deck

Phyrexian Altar + Skullclamp + The Locust God = Draw your deck, make tons of insects. Insects can then be used to cast win cons via altar. Also works with Ashnod's Altar.

Narset, Parter of Veils + Teferi's Puzzle Box = Opponents draw step shenanigans. They draw their card, then put the cards in their hand on the bottom of their library.

Proteus Staff + Creature = Sort your deck. Manlands as backup creatures.

Notable Synergies:

Narset's Reversal + Time Spiral = Avoid exiling time spiral (or other spells that exile themselves)

Isochron Scepter imprinting Snap + Lands that tap for 2 mana = weird ramp
