Thanks for the Video Mise_Mage, I appreciate it. The deck looks very interesting. So the idea is to make a ton of mana and then Banefire them in the face. Sounds pretty cool. I see Laboratory Maniac in your sideboard aswell. Is there any other win conditions besides the burn and the maniac?

Yes there is quite a few, Kfir plays Sunbeam Spellbomb in thier build so they can gain Infinte life and just cycle Noxious Revival to win the game, we can also win by Ghost Quarter all thier basic lands and either bouncing/burning thier creatures already on the battlefield. Some builds including mine tried out Grinding Station but that card just felt underpowered and not even good as first thought.
As for other win conditions I can think of a few off the top of my head ,we can play Bitter Ordeal and exile all our opponents lands, Blue Sun's Zenith to get them to draw thier entire deck +1, we can also play any and all of the Eldrazi guys including Emrakul, the Aeons Torn if we wanted to but the theory is if we can play the Eldrazi we can just put that mana into a letheal uncounterable, unpreventable Banefire instead. Older versions used to play Time Sieve to gain infinte turns, another idea is that we could Mindslaver to keep taking our opponents turn for the rest of the game.
As you can see the deck can win through many means and the win conditions used are more down to player preference than it being the most optimal "outs".
i personally like nox being main and i added in probe mb because it is even better post sb to know if i can safely go off or ifi need to go off sooner.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Yes, Reshape is a have to have card. Unless of course you'd like to wait for your Lotus Bloom to come out after 3 turns. The purpose of Reshape is to avoid the 3 turn suspend and net yourself technically 1 mana after using reshape. Then from there you could have access to bringing back your bloom through Second Sunrise or Faith's Reward to net more mana.
In theory you could run with a mono-white mana base while still playing reshape. You'd just be forced to use your "eggs" as mana filters to make blue, which causes the deck to become inefficient compared to what you could be doing instead.
EDIT: I'm going to follow up with a question of my own. Which version or Eggs is more explosive? By explosive, I mean which will go off for the win on an earlier turn clock?
