{Mekek, Izzet Paragon}, {Sensei's Divining Top}, {Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind}, {Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenuis}.

IMO Niv-Mizzet makes a better commander. However Keranos is very hard to keep off the table. I'd suggest library manipulation, counter magic (duh) and high devotion creatures.

My favorite trick, only requires mystical on top and and melek on board:

Cast mystical tutor, copy, first resolves get seething song, with the other on the stack, cast seething song from the top and copy for 10R, let the other one resolve and get mind spring/stroke of genius, cast it X=10 and copy to draw 20 cards, if you use mind spring, it requires UUU and if stroke of genius it requires 2UU. Usually you win the next turn or have an extra turn spell to finish the game off right then.
