Prerequisites

You have a way to draw a card.

Steps

  1. Cast Demonic Consultation by paying {B}, naming Laboratory Maniac and thus exiling your library due to you not having a card named Laboratory Maniac in your library.
  2. Draw a card, causing you to win the game due to Laboratory Maniac.

How to execute this combo

The "Demonic Consultation + Laboratory Maniac" combo takes 2 steps in order. Make sure you have the mana open and permanents listed in the prerequisites before you start — opponents can respond between steps.

The end result: Exile your library, Win the game.

Practice the line offline: lay out the cards, walk through each step, and note where you can lose the combo (summoning sickness, lack of priority, removal on a key permanent). In game, announce each step clearly; in casual play you can offer to shortcut after demonstrating the loop.

The best window is a turn when opponents are tapped out or after they commit a spell — hold protection (a counter, Vexing Shusher) if the combo wins on the spot.
