Wincons

Group hug draw theme, but is it really? Wheeling and mass draw gives you snakes and hurts you opponents from Iron Maiden and Fevered Visions. Also an odd way to mill them and self mill for an alt win with Jace, Wielder of Mysteries and Laboratory Maniac.

Curiosity + Niv-Mizzet, Parun will ping an opponent infinitely and draw out your deck (either you have Lab Maniac or enough cards in library to win by the damage)

Ashnod's Altar + Skullclamp + The Locust God draws your library and gives infinite colorless mana

And finally Mind Over Matter + Temple Bell will let you draw out your deck and potentially mill your opponents for a win. But remember they are all drawing with you and can find a response! Don't assume.

If any of these wincons are removed, you can use the Elixir of Immortality to shuffle back them and all your wheels again!

You can use Library of Leng to return a counter or wincon as you wheel, or better yet another wheel.

Possible Improvements / Notes

• Was thinking at first I could go a more chaos route with this deck. If that's your fancy, here some ideas: Hypergenesis when everyone has 20+ cards in hand. Dream Halls with big hands is like an Omniscience for everyone, and Shared Fate could be an interesting card to mix things up. When there's a wheel, everyone draws from someone else's deck!

• More tutors would be good! Possibly Mystical Tutor to grab a wheel. But with drawing so many cards, you'll get what you want soon enough

• Also since this is heavy draw deck, I don't need as much ramp. So I plan to take out either Kodama's Reach and Cultivate for Howling Mine and/or Misers' Cage.

• Ordered a Psychic Corrosion to replace Wizard Class since I really need it to be level 3 to benefit. Not exactly a strong 1 drop by itself.

• Wheel of Fate is another wheel I could include but it's generally bad in my opinion since it gives players 4 turns to respond and play out their hands...

• I am hesitant to add Vicious Shadows because of his mana value but a strong card when you have a sac outlet

• The new Combat Research is not a replacement for Curiosity since it only triggers off combat damage. Still a good general add if you wanted.

Funny/Interesting Games

• (5/15/22 | HWP Gamestore) Win: Labman Milled Self turn 6 with Ashnod's Altar, Folio of Fancies, + Fecundity = essentially having everyone draw half the sneks I owned and then sacing them for even more.
