Play Etherium Sculptor. Sculptor + Sensei's Divining Top + Future Sight/Magus of the Future = draw your deck, massive storm count. Just add Brain Freeze and enjoy.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll probably be adding Inspired Sprite, Sigil Tracer, and Surgespanner, and will definitely be looking for a Meishin, The Mind Cage. I'll also take a good hard look at the infinite win conditions, as I was trying to make this a more "serious" type of deck.
The problem I have with Sage's Dousing is that it says "Unless they pay 3" which usually isn't a problem in EDH. I'm leaning more towards hard counters. I'm actually looking to add in stuff like Time Stop and Pact of Negation, so I've got a pretty good handle on what I'm doing counterspell-wise. Thanks for the ideas, though.
But even to pay 3 to shut down a combo piece or in the first few turns of the game can be pretty important. I'm not saying it won't be paid most of the time, just think of it as a speed-bump. Plus, you're also drawing a card most of the time 'cause you'll have a wizard.
Pact of Negation can work with single player duels, but it can work in multiplayer as well. You have to play politics when you play it. "Dude, I just saved you from dying. Why go after me? Go after the guy that was going to kill you." It works depending on if you've screwed over that person in the past few games.

But I've found the craziest way to go off and draw your deck is Intruder Alarm. I highly recommend playing that card.
