{Serum Powder}.

{Misthallow Griffen} and {Torrent Elemental} is all I've got. Anything else?

The {W} guy that has vigilance and gets +something/+something if you have any cards in exile....?

I think that's opponent...

I didn't know dredge ran it. O_e Not quite what I was looking for.
It does in Vintage. There, the deck's strategy is literally to mulligan until you find {Bazaar of Baghdad}, and then you're pretty likely to win from there. Serum Powder just gives the deck more free mulligans.

Don't have a link right now, but there was a gimmicky modern deck that ran it. It used it to get {Narset, Enlightened Master} into exile and put her into your graveyard with a card,  {Pull from Eternity}, and attach {Goryo's Vengence} to it and attack. You would be exiling cards that let you have an additional combat phase, so you would just attack like twelve times.

Edit: Here's the deck: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/modern/deck-creation-modern/571175-turn-1-combo-using-narset

It's pretty far-fetched, but I like the idea of it-- maybe not too ambitious of making it a T1 win, but of having multiple combat phases.

{Pull from Eternity} is great...there's also {Riftsweeper} which is sub par in comparison and {Mirror of Fates} which is terrible but cool.

Are there any reasonable mulligan until x then win we could try? Maybe {Griselbrand}...could really work. we also need the deck to work without {Serum Powder}...

Also the pull effects and {Misthollow Griffen}/{Torrent Elemental} synergies with delve kinda. And {Despoiler of Souls} effects.

Vintage Dredge, as mentioned earlier, is exactly this kind of deck. The strategy is to mulligan to {Bazaar of Baghdad} and then you win.

Not particularly interested in a deck that wants $755 dollar lands. xD I'm leaning towards abusing the exile effect.

Doesn't Leylines in Legacy play it?

Why? {serum powder} sends cards to exile. They're not in your graveyard to pay for delve.

Best deck ever and yes, it very important to have {Serra's Sanctum} Opening hand.
