Behold the Beyond + Hedron Alignment
Standard Deck Help forum

Hey guys,
Still kinda new to this whole brewing thing but I saw a potential combo and was wondering if it could be at all viable, I'm leaning towards it not being.
So anyway, Behold the Beyond is a pretty good tutor for Hedron Alignment. In the situation you have one hedron on board and one in your hand, cast behold the beyond, grab two hedrons and a Transgress the Mind, next turn exile the last hedron and you win.
So is this still too impossible to pull off? Too slow? I was thinking of playing it in a U/B control as an additional win con. So like the usual counterspells and removal, ob nixilis, maybe a sphinx of the final word, thing in the ice, etc.

It's really difficult to make Hedron Alignment an additional win condition. Like Ohthenoises said, they're completely dead in a normal Magic deck. They really need to have a deck built around them, specifically. Behold the Beyond is a consistent (if expensive) way to find the pieces after Dig Through Time leaves Standard, but I wouldn't try to fit that into an existing deck that wants to try to win the game in a different way.

It's 9 mana to win the game, the problem is, it's 9(!) mana.
Surviving till then will be exceedingly difficult. However, on the off chance you can do it at least once in a tournament I'd say try and brew it.
It also requires you to run 4 Hedron alignment which are dead cards.
