It should be more refined but the nyxbloom package is dicey: you have kenrith x2 to 4, then 4x nyxbloom, 2-4x emergency power and 4x tithe, it's hard to make a working all around shell around it. To be honest even the thassa oracle win is derpy.

Also maybe self discard to reanimate the nyxborn and throw some of those 7 Mana thiefs.

    @MTGGoldfish Seth, this seems so nice, but did you considder going black for underworld dreams instead. When you activate the combo you just win right away. You can sprinkle a nyxbloom or 2 just to generate more mana. And also folio of fancies works like a charm and like a wincon. Gotta try this at some point, when i got enough wildcards. My deck uses the aforementioned cards, and many boardwipes just to buy some time.

    So, a more balanced version of your The Great Aurora deck from back in SOI standard. Gain a bunch of life, make a bunch of land drops, reshuffle the library and play things for free while your opponent just sits and watches and is frustrated. I remember, because I 5-0'd my FNM two weeks in a row with that deck.
