It should be stronger: "Whenever you would lose the game, or whenever any other player would win the game, you win the game instead."

It's an incredibly banned deck, but:

Decklist:
Playsets of Darkpact, Timmerian Fiends, Tempest Efreet, Rebirth, Jeweled Bird, Demonic Attorney, Contract From Below, Bronze Tablet, and Amulet of Quoz.

2 Laboratory Maniac
2 Shuko
2 Cephalid Illusionist
4 Gitaxian Probe
4 Street Wraith
11 Island

Basically exile the first bunch of cards (36 cards) from your deck. The Gitaxian Probe and Street Wraith both let you draw a card for 2 life, so your deck is basically:

2 Lab Maniac
2 Shuko
2 Cephalid Illusionist
10 Island.

Paradigm Shift with an empty or almost-empty graveyard is the most lightweight way to pull him off. iUseBreakOpen's combo is improved by going turn 1 Gitaxian Probe, turn 2 shift, turn 3 draw the probe as your last card, cast maniac, cast probe. One less card, and any one-cost spell whatsoever will do for the first one if you're willing/able to wait a turn. Of course, the sensible thing to do is run both combos

I use this in my Primal Surge EDH deck. The deck has no sorceries or instants so I play my entire deck when it's cast. This card is a back-up so they can't just force a card draw to kill me.

I'm looking forward to the day where someone misses that I played this card (Most of the time they aren't going to look through the 50+ creatures that are played) and try to deck me only to accidentally make me win.
