I've had some inspiration to build another deck based on a mad combo.
This time it is {geth's grimoire} + {words of waste}.
Activate Words on upkeep, move to draw phase, opponents discard, you draw a card for each opponent.
Greater profit is to be had when adding {ashnod's altar} & {waste not}. When a creature or land is discarded, I just use the mana generated to replace the draw again. And I get extra draws for any non-land, non-creature discarded as well. Hello card advantage!
Odds are pretty good I can just keep doing this until the hands of my opponents are empty.

In order to actually win, and not just troll everyone into forfeit, I went for the whole range of discard punishment. {Lilliana's caress}, {megrim} & {bloodchief ascension} hurt for each card discarded. In the case of ascension, whenever a card hits the graveyard from anywhere. To finish it, {the rack} will usually be dealing full damage to opponents, also speeding up getting ascension online.
To finish up, {altar of the brood} will give some extra kick whenever a creature card is discarded. Extra damage from ascension seems nice.

All that's left is just to ask your opponents: cards in hand????
