Rat Extraction.

Description of deck by its author (quoted):
Boris takes two cards—two popular cards (no, I'm not talking about either Shared Fate or Leveler)—and uses them in such a subversive, unintended, wrong manner that is nothing short of genius. His real combo is Cranial Extraction + Relentless Rats. He stuffs his deck full of at least 20 Relentless Rats, then uses Cranial Extraction on himself to remove them all! He's left with a lean, mean, much smaller and more focused deck. After that, it doesn't much matter what the victory condition is. He chose Shared Fate and Leveler, but he also noted that you can use anything else. (Well, maybe not Battle of Wits.)

That's the exact deck. I'm tempted to pull out the Lobotomies and Gifts Ungivens and just add more Rats! The neat part about the deck is that if it sees an opportunity to win by going Rat beatdown, it can. OK, the really neat part about the deck is pulling off the neo-Doomsday. I have no idea how good this is in actual practice. But I do know how crazy it is (I'm a bit of an expert), and it scores off the charts.
