Some of my buddies were talking about this guy at our LGS and within a few minutes thinking about the near endless possibilities that he had. So here’s my vision of the of what he can do.
This seems like a solid list for Kurkesh. I don't run quite as many win conditions in my build - and I play a warp world over obliterate.
Astral Cornucopia can be (an overcosted) gilded lotus #2, right? I always find that I have far more colorless than red - so cheap or plentiful sources of red have helped (fire diamond & mana geyser).
I am also about to add Orochi Hatchery to my list.
Decimator Web isn't as good as you want it to be, you would need to run a larger proliferate engine. Gauntlet of Might seems seems kind of sub-par in this kind of list as I don't see you making a ton of tokens. However, looking at the list I can see that card price might not be much of a hurdle, so I would suggest something like Candelabra of Tawnos as that should give you another source of infinite mana production. If you are running Mycosynth Lattice you should also look at cards like Karn, Silver Golem or Shattering Pulse/Spree for repeated Land destruction.
I was finally able to play this at my LGS tournament, and was able to win the tournament.
Both Times were infinite tutor and Comet Storm. Worked well but needs more board control and draw. I'am not playing the right colors for that though.

- Alhammarret's Archive
- Pyromancer's Goggles
if your deck can produce lots of colourless.At my LGS its all about basics. Only a few decks run lots of non-basics most of the time these cards become dead in the hand.
Alhammarret's Archive is nice but with only works with 9 cards. With less then 10% of the deck able to be used its not really worth it.
Pyromancer's Goggles at worst its a mana rock at best it gets you two Faithless Looting, Gamble, Trash for Treasure or Wheel of Fortune and with Wheel it just discards your hand draw seven then discards and draws seven.
