Large Hedron Aligner

Ever since I saw Hedron Alignment for the first time I've been wanting to see if there's a way to achieve the victory conditions. This is my attempt.

The victory conditions are: At the beginning of your upkeep, you may reveal your hand. If you do, you win the game if you own a card named Hedron Alignment in exile, in your hand, in your graveyard, and on the battlefield.

The first thing is to get a Hedron Alignment (HA) into the graveyard. If you have it in your starting hand, simply don't play a land and discard it. Then, with Secret salvage, exile that copy to get the other 3 into your hand. This takes care of a victory condition (one HA in exile), plus it gets the others within reach.

Next, cast a copy of HA. If it isn't countered, great! (one HA on battlefield). If it is, also fine! (one HA in graveyard).

The next copy you can try to either discard again, or cast it and counter it yourself.

During your next upkeep you can reveal the last copy, thus winning the game. That's the idea anyway :)

The rest of the deck is there to draw cards (to get the necessary ingredients), to discard cards (to get the necessary cards into the graveyard), and plenty of counter spells to keep yourself alive and/or facilitate your alternative strategy.

I thought Baral was a nice addition, since he makes instants and sorceries cheaper, helps discard and could even block if absolutely necessary.

Curious Homonculus could help with mana and when transformed also make spells cheaper, but I'm not sure if there isn't a better card that could fill its place.
