I'm building a Laboratory Maniac deck for Vintage. I have a few questions about my cards I plan to use to help me out.
Demonic Consultation and Snapcaster Mage: I have Laboratory Maniac active, I use Consultation to name "Juzamm Djinn" or "1996 World Champion", cards NOT in my deck and give myself zero cards in my library. I then follow up with Snapcaster Mage on Demonic Consultation.
Do I win as I have no cards to remove?
Hermit Druid: I play zero basic lands in the deck. Can I instantly deck myself out for the win or when the last card discarded the cycle stops?
Laboratory Maniac only replaces card draws, and only if your library is empty. Anything else you do with your libary is not affected by it. This includes exiling cards from it, or searching it, or revealing cards, etc. Only an actual draw would be replaced. So while you can empty your library with the mentioned cards, you have to wait for an actual draw, likely in your next draw step if you have no other means to cause you to draw a card, to win. Simply having an empty library will not make you win.
