Kraum, Ludevic's Opus / Tymna the Weaver

How it plays & wins

This is a fast, blue-black-red-white midrange-combo shell led by the Kraum and Tymna partner pair. It builds quickly with Sol Ring, Mana Vault, the Moxen, Lotus Petal and rituals, then digs with Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Mystical Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, Gamble and Intuition. Rhystic Study, Mystic Remora, Necropotence and Ad Nauseam keep the cards flowing. Free and cheap interaction like Force of Will, Fierce Guardianship, Force of Negation, Pact of Negation and Swan Song protects the winning turn.

Most wins come from a compact two-card combo. Demonic Consultation or Tainted Pact empties the library, and Thassa's Oracle wins on the spot. The backup plan is Underworld Breach with Lion's Eye Diamond, finishing with Brain Freeze for lethal storm. Ad Nauseam may also set up either line, but I wouldn't claim a specific kill from it alone.
