Two cards which form pretty powerful components towards winning via Biovisionary: Soul Foundry, and Body Double. Soul Foundry speaks for itself, and given that it's an artifact there'll be slightly less removal options for it as opposed to a straight up creature (though keep in mind that you'll lose the 'visionary to exile should the Foundry get removed, so counterspell protection, or pinpoint discard like Duress is a solid plan). Body Double is usually going to be able to copy a Biovisionary, as opposed to other Clone effects which might find none on the board (and if BD can't, it means they've left the living ones alone which is always a plus).
Beyond that, a new Dragon's Maze card, Progenitor Mimic, is very solid on its own, but makes getting a Biovisionary win even easier than the Stolen Identity method. It'll come in as a Clone of one, and create a token copy of one each upkeep.
Finally, for some other options - Followed Footsteps is good, but being a powerful aura is just askin... (see all)

Combo's with Spitting Image, Mirrorweave, Cytoshape and many more! Great flavour and my deck built around him is one of my favourite decks to use - a fantastic alt-win card.

LOL @ mostlylost - that's exactly what I thought... When I did exactly that. I had to double-check the expansion symbol before I could believe it was a rare. 2/5

Exclusion Ritual, Extirpate and Haunting Echoes could work well against this, and would mean you would not be able to win through this card.

Phantasmal Image anyone? Cheap "fragile" clones to accelerate the win condition.

In Standard I've found that the easiest way to get a win with Biovisionary is if you play with plenty of defenders like Fog Bank and Gatecreeper Vine and then have four Axebane Guardians. You can get a lot of mana ramp from that, and it usually doesn't take too long for you to have ten or eleven mana open so that you can play Biovisonary, play Infinite Reflection on Biovisionary, and still have mana up to counter a kill spell.
Fun card.
4.5/5

When you cast mirrorweave, the player whose turn it is puts their win condition on the stack first, followed by the next players in turn order. Then, the person who put it on the stack last has their instance resolved and they are the winner.
Thus, to win, play mirrorweave during the player to your left's turn.

Its not a sound game plan, but should make for a unique decktype.
Watch out for Wrath of Bob and Doom Blade.
