Dream Freeze.

Description of deck by its author (quoted):
Conflux + Dream Halls... Undoubtedly, this combo has been brought to your attention already, as it was widely circulated upon Conflux's (take your pick) release. Here's how it works, in case this is new to you: With Dream Halls in play, discard any colored card in your hand to play Conflux for free. Tutor up five cards, one of each color. For four out of those five, it doesn't matter too much which cards you choose, but make sure one of those five is another Conflux. Repeat the process, until all four Confluxes are in the graveyard, and you have fourteen new cards in your hand. (Since you can ditch any of your newly tutored cards to cast Conflux, you'll play your first one to get five cards, minus two (3) to get five more (8), minus two (6) to get five more (11), minus two (9) to get five more (14.))

From here, I decided to go with the storm mechanic as my win condition. Since Dream Halls benefits a storm strategy without Conflux in the first place, I figured it was a decent choice. In the above scenario, you've already cast five spells (the initial Dream Halls followed by the four Confluxes), so the first Brain Freeze will rip eighteen cards from the top. The second and third will clear out the rest of your opponent's library.

And thanks to Dream Halls, we can cast these Brain Freezes for free! But wait: don't we need blue cards to do that? And can't Conflux only find one blue card? Thanks to the magic of hybrid and gold, each time you cast Conflux, you can look for a Brain Freeze, another Conflux, and three multicolored spells of your choice that fit the color requirements. If you tutor correctly, you'll have four other blue cards in your hand to cast your Brain Freezes.
