I know how to not only beat this deck, but make into an easy kill for your opponent.

All you have to do is have a Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker and like 40 of these guys.
Take your favorite demon, a Thrumming stone, and some desperate research and you have a stew.

Okay... The EDH question is obnoxious, but...

The first ruling on the card's page is a shortened version of rule 112.6m, which states:

112.6m: An ability that modifies the rules for deck construction functions before the game begins.
Such an ability modifies not just the Comprehensive Rules, but also the Magic: The Gathering

including whether it’s banned or restricted. The current Magic: The Gathering Tournament
Rules can be found at Wizards.com/WPN/Events/Rules.aspx.

If you have trouble with that, let me explain: The rule of four is a deck construction rule set up in the comprehensive rules, and this card has an ability to negate that, we all know this part.

In a tournament that uses Singleton rules, such as Commander, the rule of four is modified (replaced) by the tournament rules for th... (see all)

Any hope of hitting someone using this setup with Memoricide or Shimian Specter? Maybe a card with similar or "named card cannot be played" mechanics? I think it would result in massive lol's.

Am I the only one who sees this coupling well with Rune-Scarred Demon and Battle of Wits?

Tutor Rune with Apostles, and then tutor Battle with Rune.

Game.
