Welcome to The Wheel, my pride and joy of EDH for a number of reasons. First of all, it is a deck that has evolved many times and, beginning with an old UB discard deck I had when I was a kid. It wins in unusual, unexpected ways, with cards that would be terrible in most other decks. And above all, its absolutely brutal, and when used correctly, it can kill every opponent in one turn with a hail of draws, discards, and burns.

WHEELS

The key cards in this deck are the wheels; wheel of fortune, wheel and deal, windfall, time spiral, etc. They do two things for me; they force opponents to discard and/or draw massive amounts of cards, and they allow me to constantly refresh my hand. The best wheels are wheel of fate, memory jar, magus of the jar, and time spiral, because they allow me to draw a new hand and still have all my mana untapped. Jace's archivist is the most potent, because it only costs 1 island, its a windfall effect not a wheel effect, and you can do it at instant speed.

OFFENSE

This deck doesn't kill opponents by attacking with creatures, it doesn't win by securing and maintaining board position, and it doesn't win by building an infinite combo. It wins through combinations of card synergies, by either wheeling through my oponents deck and making them pay for it, or by drawing a massive hand and using key cards afterwords. Here are some examples:

I have megrim, memory jar, and psychosis crawler in play. I crack the jar, and in my new hand I draw and use wheel of fortune, and then the hand is discarded again at the end of the turn. Barring any suprise removal from my opponents, this turn will result in 42 damage to each opponent and none to me.

A wheel of fate has 1 turn before it goes off, and I play a psychic possession. When the wheel goes off, I get to draw 14 cards. I find a windfall, and play that. Now I draw 28 cards. I find dream salvage and draw another 14. I get my firestorm, discard my hand of 40 cards, and deal 40 damage to up to 40 targets. Everyone is dead, and only 5 mana was spent on the turn it happened.
