Turn 4 infinite combo opponent with a near unstoppable win condition.
Combo revolves around Mesmeric Orb, Basalt Monolith and Goblin Bombardment. With orb out, use Monolith to infinitely tap and then untap itself, causing me to infinitely mill my own library. When Gaea's Blessing goes into my graveyard from my library, it makes me shuffle my graveyard back into my library, giving me an infinite loop. With Goblin Bombardment out, I can fling every Narcomoeba that I get straight into my opponent's face. Then I keep milling until I hit another Gaea's Blessing, reshuffle Narcomoebas back into the library, and continue. It's attack of the flying graveyard Jellyfish.

According to this rule, your combo doesn't work:"110.1. A permanent is a card or token on the battlefield. A permanent remains on the battlefield indefinitely. A card or token becomes a permanent as it enters the battlefield and it stops being a permanent as it’s moved to another zone by an effect or rule."Basically, while the cards you're milling have permanent types and would be permanents on the battlefield, they are not permanents in any other zone (hand, graveyard, library, exile, etc). "Gravestorm (When you cast this spell, copy it for each permanent put into a graveyard this turn. You may choose new targets for the copies.)" {Oracle wording}Gravestorm counts the number of permanents put into the graveyard, not the number of cards. So your combo doesn't work as no permanents are put into your graveyard with your mill combo.

DedWards is correct, It's exactly why I don't play Bitter Ordeal in my mill deck. It would be so good if so. 702.68a Gravestorm is a triggered ability that functions on the stack. “Gravestorm” means “Whenyou cast this spell, put a copy of it onto the stack for each permanent that was put into agraveyard from the battlefield this turn. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targetsfor any of the copies.”
Well crap. Thank you for telling me this. Back to the drawing board I guess.
Krark-Clan Ironworks / Heartless Summoning + 2x Myr Retriever can get the loop required to 'infinite' with Bitter Ordeal. Problem here is assembling the combo as it requires 2 Retrievers
Don't feel too bad. You had a great concept. Mill yourself AND your opponent LOL! Great to know thinkers like you are out here.
Ok, since the bitter ordeal combo didn't work out, made some changes to the deck so that it could still have the orb/monolith combo and a fast win condition. Thoughts?
That's a good use of the self mill, nice work.If you want to use the Bitter Ordeal combo I suggested, I strongly suggest a lot of tutoring effects. Getting 4 cards for a combo is bad enough, but it's even more difficult as two of the four are the same (Myr Retriever). Altar of the Brood, Impact Tremors, etc. can easily take Bitter Ordeal's slot in the combo.
