This deck was originally posted on TMD and has been tested. It wins alot but it's a little slow sometimes. Some changes have just been made and remain untested.
//Lands:16
4 Underground Sea
6 Island
2 Swamp
4 Polluted Delta
//Combo: 9
3 Djinn Illuminatus
3 Altar of Dementia
3 Pact of the Titan
//Other Creatures:2
2 Erayo
//Other Spells:33
4 Extirpate
3 Echoing Truth
3 Ponder
4 Intuition
4 Accumulated Knowledge
4 Thoughtseize
4 Mystical Tutor
3 Show and Tell
4 FoW

//Sideboard:
4 LotV
3 Diminishing Returns
3 Parallel Thoughts
3 Vision Charm
2 Extract

So you try to get Djinn Illuminatus out early via Show and Tell then replicate what you need and find Altar of Dementia and Pact of the Titan. Replicate Pact of the Titan infinitely and sacrifice the giant tokens to Altar of Dementia to win.
Everything is fetchable with Intuition and most things are fetchable with Mystical Tutor.

In the sideboard I have 2 extract against combo, 3 Vision charm for early Milling and versatality (get rid of a chalice at 0 for one turn for example), and my favorite Draw engine (Parallel Thoughts + Diminishing Returns). LotV is a farily obvious choice for a mill deck that runs in a format with lots of graveyard dependence. Extract is replicatible and can take all your opponents bombs or disruption out. Thoughtseize + Extirpate is better though so extract remains in the sideboard.

A three-card combo? That's a no-go, in my opinion.

Lotus Petal is jank in this deck. Why do you want acceleration?

Accumulated Knowledge isn't good either, I think that was proven one and a half year ago, or sumthin'.

Sixteen lands? Hmm... A bit too much...

All in all, it's a pretty fragile list, but I do like the combo, even though it's impossible to assemble. This list needs a lot of work.

I can see the benefits of accelerating into seven lands, play Djinn Illuminatus, pass the turn, untap, and lightning bolt the opponent for 21.

EDIT: POST 500!!!

If you play Show and Tell, wouldn't you rather just get a Sundering Titan or a Tidespout Tyrant into play? Those seal the deal without having to play jank to make them good.

I agree this is a pretty janky combo but I would rather give the Titan tokens haste or sacrifice them to Goblin Bombardment. Maybe its just my preference though...

It wins more than you'd think and I tried Haste but IMO milling works better.

Sorry to double post, but the combo isn't as hard to assemble as you'd think. Also Intuition/AK with Illuminatus out is pretty fantastic. Do you have any suggestions to improve this?

It wins more than you'd think? Against what? What have you tried it against?

Replicating extirpate seems good, but what's your alternate win with djinn not in play?

1) how do you want to flip erayo here?

2) sometimes there appears gaea's blessing etc, so why use altar over goblin bombardment? Or at least use both.

3) actually it's 4 card combo (show + djihn + pact + altar/bombardment) for 5 mana that is not cool at first glance. Although half-instant.

4) angel can fit the deck (synergy with pact, another show_and_tell-target)

5) why 3 ponder, not brainstorms?
