Gran-Gran + Agatha's Soul Cauldron + Clever Conjurer in the graveyard. Activate Cauldron on Gran-Gran exiling the Clever Conjurer, then tap Gran-Gran to untap itself, repeat ad infinitum. At each cycle, we loot 1. Draw the whole deck until you have one card left in the deck, and make sure to keep Thassa's Oracle in your hand when you draw it. Then, tap Gran-Gran to untap Island, drawing the last card, make 2 blue, play Thassa's Oracle, win the game
Same combo with Gran-Gran + Agatha's Soul Cauldron + Vizier of the Tumbling Sands in the graveyard + another creature. Both creatures have to be untapped can be untapped by cycling Vizier). Activate Cauldron on Gran-Gran, then tap Gran-Gran to untap Cauldron, activate Cauldron on second creature. Loop is ready. Tap creature to untap Gran-Gran, tap Gran-Gran to untap creature and so on. At each cycle, we loot 1. Draw the whole deck until you have one card left in the deck, and make sure to keep Thassa's Oracle in your hand when you draw it. Then, tap Gran-Gran to untap Island, drawing the last card, make 2 blue, play Thassa's Oracle, win the game
Same combos with Emmara, Soul of the Accord instead of Gran-Gran for infinite tokens. The nice part about Emmara being that it can generate a second creature itself for the Vizier combo
If you can't go for the combo, you can also try to get a bunch of 1/1s with Emmara and draw cards by using the mana dorks to tap your stuff to hopefully tempo enough
Really unsure about Wyllie Duke. It's currently x4 because I want to test the card, but normally it wouldn't be. You rarely want x4 of legendaries anyway.
Might want to play a Scavenging Ooze mainboard, we do have a lot of fetches
probably play removal / hate pieces instead of ramp
We might want to try Loki as a card draw engine
I'm sure the landbase and sideboard could be optimised
