With Platinum Emperion on the field, cast Ad Nauseam.  Any card you flip over will try the make you lose life, but the Emperion will prevent it.  Essentially, you can reveal your whole deck, and put it into your hand! You may want to leave a couple cards there though in case you need 1 more turn to win the game ;).  Shouldn't be a problem though, as you have all combo peices to whatever deck you may be playing.

It's hard to carry it out, but it's cool.

It's not search. It's infinite draw.

Psychosis Crawler wouldn't work with this cause you're not actually drawing.

Well, Psychosis Crawler halfway works with this, having a P/T equal to the number of cards in your hand would still make it pretty big!  And with Ad Nauseam being an instant you can cast it after you attack with the Psychosis Crawler and no blockers are declared!

Yeah but if you're doing this then there'll be so much other cooler stuff to do.

How is this hard to pull off in a black deck? Hello animate dead! Isn't there enough to do afterwards? Even if you splash green and go old school with dual lands, howl from beyond with beserk and of course fastbond to make it all possible.

Not bad....combination actually rotates around stability of Ad nauseam...i gotta agree it's a bit slow..

Old School has ways, Im an Old School player myself since 1995 but it's not that honorable "forgive me for saying" specially when youre playing against decks and players that have risen since 2000 only for the lack of resource and the aggitating ban lists...lets be real right..who wants to play a legacy upto standard Against a no-turn or 1st turn kill Classic let alone classic with ante cards...

you don't need to go too old school with this, it's doable in modern as well.  You can tutor it up with Treasure Mage or just put it into play with Kuldotha Forgemaster.  Come to think of it, if you're playing a Storm deck or Demigod deck, this may be a way to get your whole deck into your hand to get your storm count up and/or make sure you have plenty of ramp for the Demigod of Revenge's to be cast.  The decks themselves are already pretty tight, though, so it'd be hard to find a place for them.

All I see you don't have is the Rite of Flame.  Pyretic Ritual, Seething Song, Demigod of Revenge, Grapeshot, Platinum Emperion, and Ad Nauseam are all legal.  You just can't play it Turn 1.
