It's pretty easy to imagine what a deck built around this would look like. Blue for this and counters, black for tutors and removal, and white for mass removal and enchantment tutoring. Start with 4 of these, 4 Brainspoils, and 4 Enduring Ideals, and you already have essentially the same chances of drawing it as you would in a 60 card deck. Pack the rest with tutors, counters, removal, and lockdown. Library manipulation will help you not get screwed, and you can add some mill for the alternate win condition. The other option is to use dredge to mill yourself as quickly as possible and pull the card out of your graveyard. In any case you would really have to watch out for Lobotomy or Thought Hemorrhage.

There's 4 cards with cascade that can get you there, if you can get the mana to cast them.
As for shuffling the deck, who hasn't wanted to do a Vegas-style 300+ card shoe shuffle?

How's this for a freeform deck:
180x Black Lotus
25x Battle of Wits
Now, I'll just go online and buy the singles I need, and- HOLY SHIT, HALF A MILLION DOLLARS!?!?!
Eh, it's worth it. ;)

How will you ever use this, and there is a clause saying you have to be able to shuffle your deck unassisted to you are disqualified. I is a fun concept but will never work in a real game. Could you imagine counting your deck down to only have 199 cards.

Isn't there a rule that you have to be able to shufffle your library in two hands (without any cards falling out continuously), otherwise you can't play it?
