Volrath isn't the bad guy here. He merely enables his friend's bad habit. And that habit is winning a multiplayer game in a single turn by spamming Biovisionary.

Note: This deck is budget-optimized, and comes in at about $66 on TCGPlayer when using moderate wear and damaged cards.

The strategy is pretty straightforward:

1. If Biovisionary is in the opening hand or before turn 5-ish, pop him out and begin the cloning process.

2. If 1 is not true but Mechanized Production is, pop that out instead, with options for targets including our artifact lands, or Staff of Nin or Seer's Sundial for card draw to cycle to get the Biovisionary.

3. If the deck is uncooperative and refuses to give us either of the above, just duplicate the enemy creature wincons with the "target creature"-flavored clones, and then clone the clone with out "target creature you control"-flavored clones.

4. If the enemy players refuse to put juicy stuff on the table, we have some options like Gonti, Lord of Luxury to take all their cards, or Soul of the Harvest to set up a big card draw engine to try and draw into win conditions 1-2.
